Re: MSSQL access iSeries data (not ifs)

Sounds like a CCSID issue.  The data was probably stored in the default 
65535 CCSID.  I've just given you one hell of a clue.  If you search IBM 
for ODBC and 65535 you'll get hits like adding a connection string keyword 
like
TRANSLATE or 
ForceTranslation Specifies whether or not to convert binary data (CCSID 
65535) to text.  Setting this property to 1 makes binary fields look like 
character fields. 0 = Do not convert binary data to text 
1 = Convert binary data to text
