What's your system? Try iconv -l to see if it lists the character sets you want under different names.

It is AIX 1

Hi Corona,

I have found the IBM-284 characterset while listing the character sets using iconv -l. Still i am getting the same error. Could you please let me know what is the root cause about this issue.

Thanks in Advance,
Siva.
