What's the characterset of your source DB2 instance?

This is a client DB2 database that I do not have the answer for. I am assuming it is UTF-8 since that is what they recommended I use when creating the XML.

Not the best place to be making assumptions, it has to be specified correctly so any conversion can be made properly. And they probably recommended UTF-8 for the XML as that's the XML standard. Rather than continue to guess, why not simply ask them? That answer will go a long way towards getting you a solution.

I sent out the question to them the moment you asked it. Not the most responsive. Am still waiting for a reply. Will let you know once I hear back. Thanks.

So looks like my contact is unable to establish/find the characterset of the DB2 installed on the AS400. Any ideas or workarounds we could use... keeping in mind we cannot modify the DB.

Anyone with ideas of how we can workaround this issue? Thanks.
