Underlyingvalue Property Incorrect for Certain Characters
This article was previously published under Q183565
The ADO property Underlyingvalue is often incorrect, generally with 8-bit
ASCII characters. For example, ASCII character #162, the "cents" symbol,
appears as o with a forward-accent in the underlying value property.
The client codepage is set to 437 (ASCII) instead of 1252 (ANSI) and,
therefore, does not handle special characters.
Additionally, the OLE DB Provider does not accept 4-digit code-page
numbers. The OLE DB Provider does not support conversion to the system's
default ANSI code page.
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft OLE DB Provider
for AS/400 and VSAM version 1.00, included with Microsoft SNA Server
version 4.0.
This problem was corrected in the latest SNA Server version 4.0 U.S.
Service Pack. For information on obtaining this Service Pack, query on

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
