and yet didn't tell you how to fix it, i guess that comes of the mentality of charging by the kblock ;-) >> let me see if i can recreate this sans mainframes. > > I wouldn't spend too much of your time on it - if any! Since much of too late, it's made me mad. if nothing else i would like to see why this is happening. i looked thru a bunch of charsets looking for ones where the "!" & "]" chars were transposed but didn't find anything. so maybe is the "!" considered a control char or something? and maybe the "typdefovr" parameter is for the client (cf) not the server? so you'd want the default encoding, UTF-8??? or leave off "typdefovr" & just use "sendUnicode". > the mainframe programmers do the extracts. conjures up visions of flintstone developers banging away on stone tablets before feeding into dinosaur powered "mainframe" which was then followed by memories of punch cards & WATFIV from my school days ;-) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:335003 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
