AFP Document showing Dollar sign instead of Pound sign

[Michel de Kraker]

Hi All,

We are , amongst other formats (e.g. PDF) , archiving AFP documents to OnDemand. The AFP document before it is sent to ondemand contains a (currency) pounds sign. But when we retrieve the document from within the ondemand client , the document on the screen shows a dollar sign.

We use Ondemand Client 9.5.0.4. I also tried version 8.5.0.6 , same issue.

Any thoughts?

Kind regards,

Michel.

Maybe a localization issue on your PC?  What are your region / keyboard settings on the PC that's behaving this way?

Hi JBNC,

Thx for your reaction, but unfortunately that did not do the trick.

My guess is that the arsload did the pound to dollar change.

i raised a ticket at IBM.

Kind regards,

Michel.

In another thread, Alessandro mentioned that ACIF doesn't do UTF-8 / Unicode.  Maybe that's where the switch is happening.

Solved it.

In our loadscript on AIX we convert from ISO-8859-1 to IBM-285
For this 1 document i change the code conversion from ISO-8859-1 to IBM-273

This was succesfull and displayed the pound sign.

Hi Michel

Could you elaborate on which script you are talking about here that does the ISO-8859-1 to IBM-285 conversion?
Is this a shell script or a CMOD feature.
Just want to know for my knowledge.

Cheers
Pankaj.

Hi Pankaj

It is in a script i am using. With the iconv AIX command i do the conversion.

Kind regards,

Michel.
