    Some 8-bit data are appearing as '?' mark when viewed thro' Oracle Forms against oracle 8.1.5. the NLS_CHARECTER set is set correct as:
    on the server side it's :AR8ISO8859P6
    on the clients: AMERICAN_AMERICA.AR8MSWIN1256.

    However still it appears as '?'. But when this is working fine against oracle 7.3.4.Any suggestion ?

    Thanks. Pands

    I encountered this problem once. It was direclty related to character set. I created a database with default US7ASCII char. set, but the application managed caracters upper than 128. So, I decided to recreate database with WE8ISO... and since then, no problems. Maybe you try to manage caracters wich do not belong in your caracter set via the application ???

    Yes. you are right. the character sets are upper than 128. But how to bring it back ? Still I am trying. Do you suggest I create the database a fresh ?
