As we are using Oracle 9.2 with the correct character set we are ok. Do I also need to check the Unix system or is that part of the Oracle database. I don't understand this part really. Does Oracle sit on a unix system or is the unix integrated?

Oracle is the DB, Unix is the OS. Oracle runs on a Unix platform. No idea if SAP uses the Unix Unicode information or has it's own.

Which version of Unix are you using? Solaris, AiX, HP-UX?

Well thats the end of any assistance I might be able to give.

Now if you'd said Solaris.....
