Author UNLOAD LOAD Problem

ASA 9.02 Build 3124


I have the following Problem:
Existing database
Charset is : 1252LATIN1
I make an UNLOAD with SYBASE-Central with the complete database including
data.

In same table are columns char(128) with special german characters like öäü


I generate a new database with charset UTF8.

When I try to load the exported data with LOAD , it will generate errors,
when one special row is loaded.
because the special charakter are now interpreted as ( i am not shure )
delimter or something else.
That means, everything behind special character is missing ( NULL-values )
[for the following columns] or sometimes the special character is
interpreted like Carrige return ( CR ),
..

What is the correct way to do the conversion from : 1252LATIN1 to UTF8
without looosing data , if there are special characters inside
like german öäü ??

Thanks for your help
Peter Stojkovic
