hi all,

I got a weird problem here, i hope your valuable suggestions will help me in solving it... we extract data from AS400 servers to our Extract Database(SQL Server) using SSIS. The data coming from china has a weird problem, Couple of columns come in chinese language, though we have set the respective columns as nvarchar(50) we see on our extract database that they are not chinese charecters but something really bad data symbols as:



(9(

+¦

2¬ o|a&]

2¬ o|a&]

+N|( <

....

....

etc....



I hope you are understanding what i mean ...may be i need to do something(probably change some properties) in the SSIS packages which extract data from the AS400 Servers.



Has anyone encountered such a problem...I will look forward for your valuable suggestions.





thanks,

ravi
