Hello,
I have a problem with special danish characters, when retrieving data from a
CISAM table stored on AIX/UNIX server.
The tables a accessed throw AXIANT server on the UNIX, to a thin Windows
AXIANT client.
I think the problems is, the CISAM files are stored in a UNIX 8-bit ACSII
character set,
and are not converted into a windows characterset when send to the AXIANT
client.
I had the same problem with our ORACLE base but setting the variable
NLS_LANG into a windows character set
in the PH8INIT file was the solution. (our ORACLE base is also in a 8-bit
ASCII characterset )
Since we are converting a POWERHOUSE application, we can't just convert the
CISAM datafiles into
and windows characterset, because we still want the POWERHOUSE application
running.
We need some kind of setup that converts data on run time.
Regards
Tim Frederiksen
