Hi,

I want to clarify that if a character takes 1 char in sql server that should also only take 1 char in teradata?

For one of the column /column_name/, we have a control character issue. On the SQL side we have the value column_name='1234567890- =~!@$�()qwertyuiop��\QWERTYUIOP{} * asdf*. On the Teradata side we have the value column_name= '1234567890-=~!@$ÿ()qwertyuiopÿÿ\QWERTYUIOP{} *a*. This column is of type varchar(50). The control character '�' in SQL side has length '1' while the corresponding control character 'ÿ' in Teradata side has length '2'. Due to this column_name value exceeds column length and results in truncation of data.

Thanks
