What are the NLS settings for Oracle? Have you mapped these in DataStage?

Any idea, guys?
Where do I need to set to extract exactly the source characters, without replace some special chars by '?' ?

I tried to set NLS options at the Administrator (Paralllel Maps): UTF-16, UTF-8, ISO-8859-10, ISO-8859-1 but none of them worked.

Any tip?

Thanks in advance.

When I am extracting from Oracle, I usually find it is sufficient to take the Oracle database's NLS_LANG value and set the same thing as an environment variable at the DataStage project level in the DataStage Administrator project settings' Environment.

We don't set any existing environment variable; we add a new one named NLS_LANG and give it a default value that matches the same NLS_LANG value reported by Oracle.

At the result, we have NLS_LANGUAGE = 'BRAZILIAN PORTUGUESE'.

Do you mean set the new environment variable with this content?
