Folks: 

I am working on a project where a MS/SQL database must be populated by an 
iSeries DB/2 database.  In order to facilitate doing it we are going to 
build a store and forward repository in DB/2 and then forward  to the 
MS/SQL server database.  Simple right?  Problem is the OEM vendor for the 
MS/SQL based product used a nonstandard collating sequence so we have to 
match it up on DB/2 in order to not completely mess up the MS/SQL data 
when we push it down there.  We plan to try and use DataMirror 
Transformation Services to move the data from DB/2 to the MS/SQL server.

The collation sequence I am told is used by the MS/SQL is:
 
Latin1-General, binary sort for Unicode Data, 
   SQL Server Sort Order 40 on Code Page 850 for non-Unicode Data
 
Any one have a clue about what codepage etc we use in DB/2 to duplicate 
this database?  Will the DataMirror software deal with the code page 
issues for me?

Thanks.

Jim Oberholtzer
