Off-line Demo Script Fails in Non-US Locales
This article was previously published under Q183574
No data is displayed when the off-line demo script is used in non-US
locales.
The problem is due to the CCSID for the fields, which is 937.
The varchar fields in this file are incorrectly set up as CCSID 937
(Traditional Chinese). If you have installed the EBCDIC NLS files for 937,
then SNAOLEDB attempts to convert the data.
The data is actually U.S. English upper-case and lower-case characters,
which do not map well when converted from 937 to PC code page 950. The
result shows blanks when viewed via the OLE DB provider.
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.
