Hi all,

I've a BIG problem on a J2EE application that uses DB2 database under
MVS OS, I'm not able
to read special characters(russian,...), but i can write them
from the database in UTF-8 format (even if i create the database using
the correct codepage).
to be more clear, the environnement is:

- IBM Websphere 4 with DB2 JDBC driver installed on MVS
- an UTF-8 DB2 database installed on MVS

PS : this application works if i use a database and a server installed
on windows!

if anyone have a suggestion or a little idea, please reply me (i'll be
very gratefull)

Does setting the DB2CODEPAGE environement variable to 1208 (utf-8) do
any good?
If not there are some APAR fixes to be installed on MVS I believe.
