Hi Irina,
AFAIK readseq does not change any characters ( at least for universe ).
But Your terminal(emulator) will - unless You specify the same character
mapping
as the original data.
If on unix check that Your stty ( or PTERM if in uv ) settings speicify
8-bit.
Also whatever You do You'll always have a problem with
char(253) through char(255) that universe use as subvalue,value,field
and item marks.
If You don't know the encoding try ISO-8859-1.
(( I have no experience with french data - only swedish wich have
other but fewer accented and umlaut letters.
))

We have a problem with FRENCH characters.
Using READSEQ to read the record from the file which contains FRENCH
characters.
It reads in but French characters has been substituted with blanks or
with legitimate English characters.
When we are trying to load this data into xml file with WRITEBLK it puts
initial French characters in it and xml file can not be opened.
Our approach was to read data in and represent it in hex to be able to
recognize French characters, but it won't work because as a result from
READSEQ we've already had some kind of interpretation, not initial data.
Is anyone have met the same problem and knows how to deal with it.
