Changing disable character set conversions to 1 turns off character set conversion for data moving between clients and Adaptive Server. By default, Adaptive Server performs conversion on data moving to and from clients that use character sets that are different than the server’s. For example, if some clients use Latin-1 (iso_1) and Adaptive Server uses Roman-8 (roman8) as its default character set, data from the clients is converted to Roman-8 when being loaded into Adaptive Server. For clients using Latin-1, the data is reconverted when it is sent to the client; for clients using the same character set as Adaptive Server, the data is not converted.
By setting disable character set conversions, you can request that no conversion take place. For example, if all clients are using a given character set, and you want Adaptive Server to store all data in that character set, set disable character set conversions to 1, and no conversion takes place.
