I am doing a new install of IS 8.5 on Linux Red Hat 5.7, switching from 8.1 on Windows Server 2003. When creating an ODBC connection in Windows environment for the AS400 DB2 connections, we used to check the box under "Translation" that said "Convert binary data (CCSID 65535) to text".
Where in the Linux environement can I specify this property for a connection?
I am running into warnings about binary data and I am thinking this is what I am missing.
can someone please point me in the right direction?
Thanks!

If there is a setting for that, then it would probably need to go into the .odbc.ini file on Linux. On AIX, the default path to that file is: /opt/IBM/InformationServer/Server/DSEngine
Also, 8.7 is available and was built on 8.5 Fix Pack 1. I wonder if you could migrate once to 8.7 instead of twice (first to 8.5 then again to 8.7).
