Neoview Character Sets Administrator's Guide (R2.4, R2.5)

For information about input file encoding features of the Neoview Loader for this Neoview
release, see “Neoview Loader” (page 36).
How Character Encoding Is Implemented in the Neoview ODBC Driver
for Windows
The Neoview ODBC driver for Windows loads a separate translation DLL to perform translations
on character data sent through the driver.
Table C-3 (page 53) describes the translation behavior of the Neoview ODBC driver for Windows
for the three Neoview character set configurations.

How Character Encoding Is Implemented in the Neoview ODBC Drivers
for UNIX
The Neoview ODBC drivers for UNIX use the Neoview ODBC driver translation, which is bound
to the driver, to perform translations on character data sent through the driver.
Table C-4 (page 53) describes the translation behavior of the Neoview ODBC drivers for UNIX
for the three Neoview character set configurations.

Table C-5 (page 53) identifies and describes the attributes used to configure character set
translation for the Neoview ODBC drivers for UNIX.

The DataLang attribute is used for translation. Always set DataLang to 0 to use the default
locale setting from the UNIX environment variables.
