> # Transliterating Character Data

> The ADO Client uses the standard service template to transliterate character data from the code page the SequeLink service is using to the code page of the client application/system. In some environments, the ServiceCodePage service attribute must also be set.

> On Linux/UNIX/Windows, the ADO Client uses the OS setting for ServiceCodePage to transliterate character data, in addition to the standard service template. This option enables support for single-byte character sets (SBCS) and multi-byte character sets (MBCS). However, Unicode is not supported.

> For DB2 for z/OS, the ADO Client uses only the standard service template to transliterate character data. This approach enables support for single-byte character sets, multi-byte character sets, or Unicode.

> See "SequeLink® Service Attributes" for information about the SequeLink service attributes that affect configuration. For information about data type mappings, refer to the SequeLink Developer's Reference.
