Re: Client Access codepage issue

[Bruce Vining <bvining@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hopefully you have found that this is a non-issue.

iSeries Access for Windows does not automatically ship all possible
conversion tables on the PC as that would represent a significant amount of
storage.  Instead a subset of the possible conversion tables are installed
on the PC and additional tables are downloaded from the iSeries if and when
they are needed.  When one of these optional tables is needed the user is
prompted for the userid and password to connect to the iSeries (if they are
not currently signed on that is) in order to download the table and then
the table is downloaded.  Once installed on the PC the user should not see
this prompt again.

Good morning,

I've got a code problem and I'm not entirely sure if it's an issue on the
PC or AS/400.  The PC in question belongs to one of our Japanese
associates.  This person regularly receives documents and correspondence in
Japanese so the PC has the Japanese character set loaded.  Everything works
fine when starting a PC5250 session.  The problem is when they start a
Showcase query.  Showcase uses ODBC to access files on the AS/400.  When
starting to work on the query you are prompted with the Client Access
sign-on.  The problem here is that after you enter your user-id and
password you get the message:

"To Access this resource you need to sign on to the iSeries server.
Resource:  Code Page conversion table (943 to 5026)."

Any thoughts would be appreciated.  Thanks.
