I have a rater weird problem in our Baan 4c4 installation on Informix / NT.

When using caracters from Alt 0129 to Alt 0159 the user gets a "can't convert TSS character" error.

From this forum I found some descriptions regarding the TSS problem, indicating a problem related to the porting set (we use 6.1c.06.02) but have Baan released a solution to the problem ?

The really weird thin is that baan actually saves the character in the informix base, and afterwards the character show's correctly (but the user still get a error message). So things is in some way working but annoying the users.

But the problem have hit another stage, when accesing the informix db from an ODBC connection, the interface resurns a "CLI fetch row" error when trying to read a string field containing a caracter from 0129 to 0159, but all other unicode characters is working fine. The problem is that the SQL interrupts when hitting the error and the script breaks.

One solution is to search the database and change the characters to some other characters, but as long as the users can enter "illigal" characters and Baan stores them can the problem reoccur.

Any Ideas is appreciated
