Irina,
the problem I think You have is that the file has characters like
char(233) for e-acute but Your terminal(emulator) or port strips
the leading bit making it the 7bit character char(105) = i on the
display.
( 105 = 233-128)
(( the 233=i is for the iso-8859-1 we use - french may be different ))
Thus check Your PTERM settings by
>PTERM DISPLAY
make sure it has DATA=8 and NONE and -STRIP on the protocol line.
( wich means 8bit characters, no check digit and dond' strip bit 0 )
If this doesn't help You'll have to
To verify what the characters aren't destroyed in the file.
In unix use
od -cx <filename> | more
in universe ED in up-arrow mode will show the decimal value of each
character > 127.
When You have identified the value of each character used
use CHAR(nnn) in Your program when You build your
search pattern.
( You may find the iso encoding schemes on the web too ...
if You can weed out what they used... )
