You can load the dump only to another server with the same character set. For example, if you attempt to load a dump from a server that uses an ASCII character set to a server that uses a non-ASCII character set, the load fails because the value of the ASCII password is different from the non-ASCII password.
Passwords entered by users are converted to Adaptive Server’s local character set. Because ASCII characters generally have the same value representation across character sets, if a user’s password is in an ASCII character set, the passwords for dump and load are recognized across all character sets.
Adaptive Server version 15.0.2 and later allows you to store portable passwords. See “Character set considerations for passwords”.
