ebcdic and sequential file

przytula · Post by **przytula** » Wed Oct 19, 2005 7:21 am

a simple question would be : is it possible for a sequential file stage to specify for nls = ebcdic.
when doing this : the message is displayed : nls map 'ebcdic' is not currently loaded, are you ...
is this only possible when using cff ?
when doing this with nls=ebcdic and defining layout - pressing view data, I get the message :
Error calling subroutine: DSD.Browse (Action=3); check DataStage is set up correctly in project xxxx
Is something missing here ?
Thanks for all help
Best Regards, Guy Przytula

I think that you are attempting to set an NLS map that doesn't exist. You specify the EBCDIC conversion in either the string type defaults or in the column definitions and this attribute is completely independant of any NLS settings.

There is an EBCDIC map (more than one, in fact, for Japanese). The problem is that you have not loaded this map. You build and load NLS maps using the Administrator client.

I usually advise re-starting DataStage after loading additional maps or locale definitions, so as to be sure that they get loaded into the NLS shared memory segment.
