Qusetion from NT guy about problem with FTP of file from Unix - Any ideas?

..... now i have found out that my windows application get's troubles with some characters in the file. i think it has to do with the codepage used for the extract. my windows application is using the standard ANSI codepage but i think unix uses some others like the UTF-7 or UTF-8 codepage. can you please check what type of codepage the unix box is using for writing the extract file? i could then re-programm my application to read the textfile with the correct codepage settings.

None. As long as the transfer is binary, there is no translation.

Now it depends on what your LANG environment variable (or each of the LC_*** components) is set to how it displays on your terminal (xterm, dtterm, hpterm) or application (vi) or database application (Oracle can explicitely set what codepage to use for a database volume, which either ruins your data, or does exacly what you expect. In my experience Oracle mostly chooses the first possibility)

Hi Matthew,

HPUX 11.11 supports Unicode 2.1 / ISO 10646 character set.

HP-UX 11.0 supports Unicode/ISO 10646 by utilizing the UTF-8

Believe this is correct, but if someone has a more detailed page/doc it is very welcome .

What about if we're still using HPUX 10.20?

Check if you have patch PHCO_19781 installed

this would add the support for ISO8859-15 & Unicode 2.1 conv tables
