Data Utf8-utf16
Hi All,
When we create a flat file using a PLSQL program , the flat file is
being created in UTF8 format.This file has lot of german characters.When
we use this file to load data into MS SQL Server, the german characters
are coming as junk. When we create a flat file in oracle it is being
created in UTF-8 format only.Is there a way of converting the UTF8 file
to UTF16 file or can we create the flat file in UTF 16 directly. Any
pointers in this regard will be appreciated.

I tried using adncnv but its giving an error
Invalid destination character set: UTF16[U]
