OS?? Solaris, maybe others too, uses environment vars to set the "locale". On Solaris the vars are LANG and a series of LC_xxxx vars where xxx includes CTYPE, TIME, ... and also "ALL" which overrides the other LC's. Try running your amreport command with the vars set to appropriate locales for your OS. One will probably be "C", so my example uses that: LANG=C LC_CTYPE=C LC_ALL=C amreport <config> -l log.xxxxxxx This will set (or change) the vars just for the running of the amreport cmd. My current locale on Solaris is "en_US.ISO8859-1" but the your OS may require different syntax. If you find a setting that works, try it in your cron command for amdump. -- Jon H.
