Re: russian codepage in 4js

Hello,
the answer depends on your installation.

If the database server and fgl are installed on a Linux box:
On debian I can choose those locales when using russian:
 ru_RU.ISO-8859-5
 ru_RU.CP1251 CP1251
 ru_RU.KOI8-R
 ru_RU.UTF-8
By sure to set the CLIENT_LOCALE to a value fitting to LANG

This is perhaps an indicator for your problem: you're using ISO-8859-5.
See 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8859-5
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows-1251

For sure, the report must be corrupt: you told the database you're using
CP1251, but you're using ISO-8859-5 at client site.

It LANG is set to ru_RO.8859-5, set CLIENT_LOCALE to ru_RU.8859-5.

fglrun will send all date encoded in ISO-8859-5 to the GDC. GDC will
convert to the windows code page CP1251 on the fly.

Don't be confused by the word "CLIENT_LOCALE". This is the locale of the
machine executing fglrun. This is __not__ the locale of machine executing
GDC.
