Re: National characters and UTL_FILE

Hello Vladimir   I think that you need to take a look at the file before and after applying "unix2dos". Since you work with CE characters, maybe the conversion program can not handle this.   BTW - in Oracle 9.2 you can use utl_file to write Unicode to the file. Maybe this will help you.   Yechiel Adar Mehish ----- Original Message ----- From: Vladimir Barac To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Sent: Friday, December 06, 2002 1:58 PM Subject: National characters and UTL_FILE Hello to everyone   I want to write national characters (Central European) to ASCII file, by using utl_file.   UTL_FILE is called within unix script, and afterwards ascii file (after applying "unix2dos") is sent as an attachment (by using "uuenview"). Both NLS_CHARACTERSET (EE8ISO8859P2) parameters are same within script (env.variable) and database.   But, instead of those specific letters I receive mail with useless content. I have then tried binary ftp of ASCII file, but to no avail.   I'm entering and reading those characters trough Forms with no problem at all.   So, is it possible to write CE characters (DOS extended character set actually) into ascii file?   Regional settings at Windows client (where mail or ftp are received) are appropriate (meaning, they are not set as USA...)...
