Convert Cyrillic data
We are working with the Russian data that is converted to Cyrillic charecter, how to convert it back(Russian)? I am not sure how the data was converted to Cyrillic. If we can do it in datastage that is well and good, can this be done in Unix?
Thanks for the help.

You need to find out, obviously, how it was converted to Cyrillic characters in the first place (nothing unexpected should happen in ETL). The short answer is that there are character maps between the outside world and DataStage, that convert from and to the external character set.
There is no mechanism whatsoever in DataStage for converting from English to Russian, unless you implement it yourself.

man pages for the iconv function are present on AIX as well.
