UTF-8 is a variable-width encoding (1 to 4 Bytes/"octets" per character), it's not a single byte character set. "sbdataconn" specifies single byte encoding. Use "site encoding=mbcs" and "site mbdataconn=(IBM-424,UTF-8)" to specify multibyte encoding. > >The Roman characters in the file as transferred with >sbdataconn=(IBM-1047,ISO8859-1) appear plausible. > IBM-1047 and ISO8859-1 are both single byte character sets.
