Hi I'm noticing some strange behaviour. using our application, we notice that russian characters come back to the client after being committed as ?????. We're using cpinternal and cpstream to utf-8 on all clients (appservers,webclient) and the codepage for the log files are set to utf-8 also. The db is a converted utf-8 db etc. A client/server connection gui connection using utf-8 for cpinternal to this db works fine with russian text. We can write it and read it and its consistent. Ive noticed that our application seems to work on the client. ie russian text entered in the webclient gui, displays correctly before its committed. As soon as its written, the encoding seems to be lost. in fact a db trigger shows the question marks in the appserver log file which means the stuff is lost as soon as it goes server side. This is a legacy app which uses raw-transfer to transfer temp-table data from client to appserver. Before the days of pds, the only way to get multiple temp-tables from client to server using a generic call was this way. Does anyone know if utf-8 data will survive a raw-transfer. regards Darren
