If you unset the LANG and/or LC_ALL environment variables your scripts will
default to the "C" locale, which itself will default to latin1 (i.e.
iso8859).

Most of the Sybase client API will handle the charset conversion between
utf8 and iso1 with no problem, but the Bulk Load API can't do this, and
that's most likely what fails for you.

Subject:    charactersets with sybperl 2.18



Hi,

It turns out that the database character set on the ASE 11.9.2 db I'm
trying
to connect to uses LATIN1.  Should I use character_set_convert or can I set
some env to use LATIN1 instead of the default utf8?  I get messages about
utf8 but it does connect using isql.  The make tes isn't finishing off at
100%.

Thanks again,
~DjK
