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.
