Hi

I created a SQL function which retrive customer name based on his number. Because our names has special polish characters I also implemented a conversion from polish chars to latin using %XLATE.

When I called this function in interactive SQL session on AS400 - all is correct - means I get customer name with converted polisch chars to latin.

But when I try to call it inside some external reporting software it get me a name looks like conversion didn't occured.

What is wrong? When I talked with producer of software and they assumed that problem is with SQL function, but how if on AS400 it get right converted name?

Regards

Tomek
