Hi Javier! There is a feature called GLS (Global Language Support), Informix = products no longer need to specify how to process this culture-specific = information directly. Culture-specific information resides in a GLS locale. When an = Informix product needs culture-specific information, it makes a call to the GLS = library. The GLS library, in turn, accesss the GLS locale and returns the = information to the Informix product. Version 7.2 Informix products support the GLS feature. Therefore, they = can access culture-specific information regardless of the operating system = under which they run. They can locate the locale information on any platform = to which they are ported. Anyway, I have a client which uses WYSE terminal with spanish keyboard,=20 using SCO unix box and INFORMIX OnLine 5.x and they are able to write and read from the database?, If your users are able to type the =F1 or = =D1=20 character from the pc emulator and they can't access it, the problem is that when translating the characters to the database process in this = case you can make an intermediate process which will look for this characters and replace them for a multibyte character (eg. \\245 for =F1 or =D1). I hope this help, ---------------------------------------------------------------- Mario Estrada | SISTECO, S.A.
