Error description
Sequential file stage of a server job reads data with japanese characters using 64kbyte buffer by default. It is possible that NLS mapping error occurs when the last byte in 64Kbyte buffer is the first byte of a multi byte character even if there is no un-mapped character in data.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** USERS AFFECTED: Server customers using sequential files and Japanese characters **************************************************************** PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Sequential file stage of a server job reads data with japanese characters using 64kbyte buffer by default. It is possible that NLS mapping error occurs when the last byte in 64Kbyte buffer is the first byte of a multi byte character even if there is no un-mapped character in data. **************************************************************** RECOMMENDATION: Apply patch JR38648, or install 8.5 FP2 or later. ****************************************************************
Problem conclusion
Areas of the server sequential file stage have been reworked to resolve several issues. This has entailed handling multibyte quotes and column separators at the internal level. Note this has not changed the external handling of these components. In addition the per column mapping code has been modified to correct its handling of quote characters so that the functionality is as per the non per-column case for this functionality. A change has also been made to the handling of input buffers to use the column and row separators to try and find a good split point rather than trying to handle the possiblity of a multibyte character being split across buffer boundaries. APARs resolved: JR38648, JR38211, JR31002.
Temporary fix
A workaround exists which is to use per column mapping with the same map for all columns.
