Progress DataDirect provides a sample translator named "OEM to ANSI" that provides a framework for coding a translation library. Refer to the readme.trn file in the /samples/src/trn subdirectory in the product installation directory for details.

To perform a translation with a particular driver, you must include the TranslationSharedLibrary keyword in that driver’s data source definition in the odbc.ini file. The TranslationSharedLibrary keyword represents the full path to the translation library.

For example, the 32-bit DB2 driver would be:

The TranslationOption keyword is the ASCII representation of the 32-bit integer translation option. Use of the TranslationOption keyword is optional.
