probably by specifying the correct Item Subclass/National language/Data language in the type tree but I'm not 100% sure.

I tried and I have noticed that Mercator is treating the multi byte char as normal text when the text is being used with any of the functions. When I tried to read a sample file which has Japanese char ,the length of the text is 19 but the SIZE function returns 52.

Hi
We are facing the same problem in our proj.
There are multibyte Japanese characters which are not read in source properly and giving NLS error. However single byte characters are working fine.
Pls let me know if you have found out a solution.
Thanks

I believe there used to be a japanese version or package offered. May want to see if IBM still maintains it or even offers it anymore.
