title: Problems reading DB2 Data via Informatica Power Center on Linux server
body: <p>On a very large project that I am running, our development team is using Informatica Power Center to access data in a DB2 database on an AS400 iSeries. We can establish the ODBC connection and can read the data but it is coming in EBCDIC and staying that way, never converting to ASCII. We have checked the Code Pages on the box, the driver, the parameters on the download - everything we can think of - but neither Informatica nor IBM can figure out what is going on.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone have any ideas? Have you done this successfully before? I'm wondering if we have a Linux environment issue, because when the developers use Windows drivers on a Windows box it works fine. That, unfortunately, is not a viable option for us.</p>
