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

For this Neoview release, Neoview DB Admin imposes these restrictions:
• If the characters you enter from Neoview DB Admin are not recognized by or compatible
with the SQL database, the Neoview DB Admin operation will be rejected by SQL with an
error.
• When the ISO88591 configuration is used, Neoview DB Admin reverts to using only 7-bit
ASCII characters and will not support the use of 8-bit ASCII or multibyte characters from
the client locales.
• It returns CORBA errors when you attempt to retrieve character data inserted from a different
client workstation using a character set that is incompatible with the current workstation.
For more information, see Table 5-1 (page 39).

Neoview Loader
Table 4-1 (page 36) describes the input file encoding guidelines for the Neoview Loader in the
three Neoview character set configurations.
NOTE: For this Neoview release, the Neoview Loader is still supported for those Neoview
customers who acquired it in a previous Neoview release.

For information about using gcmd to set the value of the cSetConversion (-cc) argument to
specify whether or not the Neoview Loader should perform character set conversion, see “How
Character Encoding Is Implemented in the Neoview Loader” (page 52).
