Hi All:  
So far in our IBM mainframe with Adabas and Natural, we use the English character set. We would like to use the latin character set. Someone could tell us the steps to do this change?.  
Thanks.

Check the Adabas documentation for UES encoding support. For example, you will need to UES enable the database with the ADADEF utility:
