Encoding problem

Hi

Were being sent a file that contains Japanese characters, were assured its being sent as UTF-8, however when I use the ETL tool to select it as UTF-8 it corrupts all the characters. The same happens with all of the encoding options. When I open the file in Excel and choose UTF-8 it works perfectly.

Any ideas on what I could be doing wrong?

thanks

And how can we help you if you did not tell us the version number,
database you are working with.... ETC?
Please read the rules and follow then
Than we will help

Mike

ETL version 5.6.3.8

Our database oracle 10g

That is not enough information for us to start investigating the problem

Hi mike

sorry having various issues at the moment, dont mean to waste your time. Ive attached a screen shot and some sample data. Its running on windows server 2003

to be honest I just enjoy the dialog

Can we ask you zip the sample file and attach it.
That way it will not be converted when we dowlaod it using IE
