When working with multiple text languages and text formats, set the notes.ini variable "EIOracle8NativeText" to a valid Oracle code page to force the translation of all transferred Oracle data to that code page. This variable must be set with a character set name understood by Oracle. Examples of values for this variable are "WE8ISO8859P1" or "JA16SJIS" or "RU8BESTA". See the National Language Support (NLS) section in your Oracle documentation for a list of the available character set names.
