Re:

Patrick,
if I understand you correctly, when you use German version of BPCS, everything
works fine, while if you try to access BPCS files on your server directly
through ODBC, you don't get proper data because you are not using proper NLV
conversion table for ODBC access. If this is the case, I believe that BPCS
client does NLV translation between English and German by using the conversion
table called NLSE273.TBL, which resides in one of BPCS folders on your PC. I
don't know if you would be able to use this table directly for ODBC (I would
guess not), but you could use it to get the idea if you are able to build
similar conversion table for ODBC.
Hope this helps,
Goran
