How to set the default connection charset for SqlAnywhere 11 Windows network server?

[former_member1340592]

I have an application that doesn't have the connection charset defined in its JDBC connection string to SqlAnywhere 11 network server in a Windows environament.

Since I cannot change the application, is there any way to set the default client connection charset in server settings?
I found the environament variable "SACHARSET" in documentation, I tried to set

SACHARSET = UTF8

But it did not help. I also tried UTF-8, but it was the same.

Do yuo know how to set the default charset for client connection in Sybase SQL Anywhere 11 server?

Is there any way to define the default charset for client connection?

What problem are you trying to solve? There should be character set translation happening if the client and server have different character sets and that the characters can be translated between the the character sets.
