It appears you need CP00284 or >CP01145 for Spanish. CP 37 contains all the characters necessary for Spanish (and German, French, and several others) - in fact it contains exactly the same set of characters that CP 284 does, but arranged slightly differently. CP 1145 is almost the same as 284, but contains the Euro sign and a couple of other minor changes. Of course character data has to be interpreted according to the encoding convention used in the OP's country or geographic area. Although CP 37 is commonly called the "US/Canada" code page, it is also used in Brazil, and a few other places. And it is commonly used in the USA for Spanish characters. I'd guess that SDSF has some assumptions somewhere about "printable" characters.
