SQL_ASCII is not an encoding (it's more like the absence of knowledge

Yes you are right , the original data come from a DB2 with CodePage 
IBM-850  and was inserted  without complains in a Postgres 7.3.6 with 
SQL_ASCII.   

Ugh.  You'll have to work out how to convert that codepage to one of the
encodings that PG supports.  Or else add it as a supported encoding
(I'm not sure how hard that is, but it's not out of the question).

Ok, I'm interested is do that , but someone is the development group would give me some assistence to get a start point to work with.
I program in Java, C, and less frequently in C++.
