APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The fix for PM69749 has introduced a rigorous control of the
  CCSID output requested via the CCSID option in order to avoid
  conversions that might lead to output data truncation. As this
  is only a potential risk that the user might be aware of and
  might have already checked he/she was not impacted by, the
  ability to allow risky CCSID specification was kept via the
  CHECK_CCSID_STRICT(YES) subparameter of the VUU030/ULOPTNS
  parameter. However, the more risky conversions, i.e. from UTF16
  to a non DBCS CCSID remain forbidden. Even for this kind of
  conversion, if the user masters the content of his/her source
  data, such a request might not lead to any data loss. Therefore,
  a way to tolerate this kind of unload request should be given to
  the user to avoid any maintenance on existing jobs of that kind.

Local fix

• Local fix: none because there is no way to make DB2 HPU accept
  to run an unload specifying a potentially risky CCSID
  conversion. However, the same output can be obtained by using
  the rigth way to convert UTF16 data into non graphic CCSID that
  consists in unloading such data into char type output fields
  (CHAR, VARCHAR or CLOB).
