With some of my collegues we entcountered a problem with german characters under Linux.

Normally we are loading our scripts from a windows client. There we did not have any problems. But now someone want to load the scripts from linux using sqlplus. Here we are comming to the problem. Even if I send

select convert('äöü','WE8ISO8859P1') from dual;

we did not get the german characters. I search in Google and discussed it with others. Sure it have to be a setting problem, but I did not find the way how to set the parameters (even not the person, who has much more experiences with Linux).

Can some give us a helpful hint?
