Any insights here would be greatly appreciated..

We are converting from WF7 on a MF to WF8 on windows. Both systems hit the same DB2 files.

In both..we read a 50 character field which WF parses .and then converts to HEX using UFMT.

In WF7, we correctly get values
In WF8, we get sporadically different values.

Example..
In WF7, value "0000000000000000 0452 ‘" gets turned into a "'" which is converted to '00009C'
in WF8, value "0000000000000000 0452 æ " gets turned into a "æ" which is converted to '0000E6'

my guess it is an EBCIDIC and ASCII translation issue..

Does anyone have any ideas on how to translate this in WF8 so we get the same output as WF7?

Thanks in advance.

Wm

I would suggest opening a case with Techsupport.

If its a difference in operation of a function then, it may be a bug that needs fixing.

The other possibility is:
Is the source data in WF 8 different ?
Is the format of the field different ?

Would this have anything to do with code pages on the reporting server, client server, web server?
