This article was previously published under Q183574 SYMPTOMS
No data is displayed when the off-line demo script is used in non-US
locales.
CAUSE
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.
STATUS
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
