We are installing a new Oracle database release, so when I recreate the MFDs/Synonyms they are getting created with the V, variable indicator. This is causing problems. So,
1. and most importantly
How can I recreate them without the V?
I'm sure this is related to the that stupid code page 438 thing

2. What is the V telling me and why does it cause me proplems? Or point me to where it is documented.

I will continue to search the forum but thought one of you smart people would know the answer quicker

This the current production version


FIELDNAME=STVTERM_CODE, ALIAS=STVTERM_CODE, USAGE=A6, ACTUAL=A6,

This is the new Pre-Prod version

FIELDNAME=STVTERM_CODE, ALIAS=STVTERM_CODE, USAGE=A6V, ACTUAL=A6V,

Rick, take a look at the documentation for iWay Adapter for Oracle in the Adapter Administration for UNIX, Windows, (more OS's here) manual, particularly the "Managing Oracle Metadata" section.

You may find some hints there. For instance:

ENGINE SQLORA SET VARCHAR OFF


Will make your VARCHAR2 fields be mapped as An instead of AnV.

that OFF will totally work,
but in the interim, if you can't change the AnV to AN in the master files, then redefine in your fex any alpha field you have to use.

I recreated the STVTERM MFD and is still created them as AnV.
Susannah, it is all MFDs. To pervasive to do in a DEFINE.

Perhaps it means the same, but perhaps no ...

Would you try the syntax I had shown instead just to see if it makes any difference?

ENGINE SQLORA SET VARCHAR OFF

I tried that but got the same results.
I remembered what the problem is: We need NLS set to codepage 65001, but that causes the MFDs to get generated with the AnV format. I needed to change the codepage to 437 English, generate the MFDs and then change it back.

However, I will be upgrading to 7.7.03 shortly and would like to get this fixed. Why does codepage 65001 do that? And why does AnV cause problems? There is something in that that, in this case, causes the term code to come out bad. Rather than 201108 it comes out with the first character weird, then 01108 (I think I'm writing this from memory tonight) anyway it doesn't work.
Any help is appreciated.
