Hi, I'm afraid it may not be that easy. It depends on whether the languages you're dealing with all can use the same code set. That would be the easy case. If not, then you probably have to find a (compromise) code set that can handle all your languages best. Anyway, you probably should start reading the manual "IBM Informix GLS User's Guide".
