I’m pretty sure it didn’t come up in a different language. However, it’s quite possible that it came up in a different alphabet.
What languages are installed on the PC? What region is the PC configured for? What languages are installed in your AS/400? What CCSID is the DB2 table and column in? What is the AS/400 QCCSID system value?
Tom
what is the primary language installed on your PC?
Sorry Tom – didn’t see your comment until I created a duplicate of part of it.

No problem, Phil. Sometimes it takes multiple requests. Maybe it increases credibility when two people ask for similar info. I get concerned at times, though, thinking that these discussion questions don’t get seen because they’re at the bottom.

How are you doing the import?
I am not sure what language the original information was written in but Arabic will not translate directly to English.
I was curious about your question and I found the following link:
