Ron I was reading your response about converting to UTF8 and it has risen some curiosity with my situation and recent upgrade of a DB from 8.1.7.2 to 9.1.0.3. A snippet from the migration manual states:<<If the old National Character Set is UTF8, then the new National Character Set will be UTF8. Otherwise, the National Character Set is changed to AL16UTF16.>>
the character set at the time was AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1 which my understanding is that the character set would become AL16UTF16. I never could get the character set scanner to accept the tochar=AL16UTF16 or tochar=al16utf16 parameter(s). It would result in CSS-00115: invalid character set name AL16UTF16 or CSS-00115: invalid character set name al16utf16. I went forward with the upgrade. I would like to know if there is anything I can do to check the data after this change or did the ccscan need only need to be ran against converting to UTF8. This test database houses the 11i applications objects. TIA for any information
