Hi team,

 

I'm getting information from a database, this database was started with Codepage P850. I'm using the ConvertfromCodePage with code=850 but is not working. Do you know what I can do in this case?

Hi @eduardomarchesin 

 

Based on the below page, 850 doesn't seem to be a supported value. Can you post some sample data?

@eduardomarchesin I meant a non-screenshot, hard to type those values to replicate the issue 🙂

Hi @eduardomarchesin 

 

Possible the community supports a different encoding. Have you tried the 'DecomposeUnicodeForMatch' function? Seems to be getting a result but not sure if it makes sense based on your data. Only downside is it makes everything lowercase.

Hi Luke_C

 

I've tried to use 'DecomposeUnicodeForMatch' function as your suggestion, it was changed a little but it keeps the error,.

@eduardomarchesin (André here from Brazil),

 

What is the database you are using? Some codepage problems could be solved by adding parameters to the Connection String.

Hi Andre,

 

I'm getting information from Sybase database using an ODBC connection. This connection I've created on "ODBC Data Source Administrator" in Windows10.

The DBA team confirmed that this database was set up with Codepage P850.
