You can load the dump only to another server with the same character set. For example, if you attempt to load a dump from a server that uses an ASCII character set to a server that uses a non-ASCII character set, the load fails because the value of the ASCII password is different from the non-ASCII password.
Passwords entered by users are converted to Adaptive Server’s local character set. Because ASCII characters generally have the same value representation across character sets, if a user’s password is in an ASCII character set, the passwords for dump and load are recognized across all character sets.
