Re: Forms encoding

I think you need to explicitly set a locale to match that of the database..

If you're using UTF8 - the data should be in UTF8 and the locale set to
UTF8 - and you need to use the A4GL_UI=TUI_wide.
If you're not using UTF8 - the data should not be utf8, the locale should
be set explicitly to non-UTF8 locale, and you use the normal A4GL_UI=TUI


Personally - I've had very little success with UTF8 in the forms because of
problems with ncurses - and it causes all sorts of complications when
you're using things like LENGTH and somevar[1,2] etc - so I would avoid it
completely if at all possible.
