I have imported some data...with some records having accented characters. Through the entire workflow, the accented characters are maintained, however, when I export, the accented characters are converted to what looks like escape codes. For example Orl�ans becomes Orl\xe9ans.

I am exporting using the Output Fixed node.

Is there a setting in there that I need to use to export to UTF-8?

Thank you

Is the field unicode? Can you convert the field to string and then output?

Okay - it seems that converting to string has corrected the accent conversion issue.

Now, is there a way to specify the encoding of the output file to be UTF-8? This is a requirement of the mainframe job that will be using this file to import data.

Here's a couple of unsupported nodes but might help you write out as unicode.

Thank you for this node. Is there a way to have this as fixed width, rather than delimited?
