APAR status

• Closed as documentation error.

Error description

• Building a custom codepage converter for ACE requires using ICU
  command line tools. These are not included in the base ACE
  distribution. Currently the documentation page "Generating a new
  code page converter" instructs customers to download and build
  ICU manually. Customers can instead request an ifix for defect
  87363 from IBM Support which includes the correct command line
  tools for their ACE fix pack.
