OK I will try and explain. I qwas working at a customer who has code that uses send packet. This is really old code and I do not think they have ever used USE CHARACTER SET. We are upgrading to v16, so I tried filling a text variable and with the data and then doing a text top document. This di not work I then tried text to blob and then blob to document. This did not work. In both cases, I used UTF8 text without length which also did not work. Does this make ity clearer? Regards
