Error description
The output field for SBCS CHAR or VARCHAR data (encoded in EBCDIC or ASCII) unloaded in UNICODE is incorrect. Some characters are replaced by the replacement character. This occurs because the target output field is encoded in the UNICODE SBCS CCSID which is not valid. The output should be encoded in the MIXED CCSID instead. We see the unexpected substitution character x'1A' or x'1B' AI BE AWARE the following HOLD ACTION was missing from the PTFS. * HPU v4.1 PTF UK93298 should include following HOLD ACTIONS: Run INZT01. Add the TRUE_UNICODE specification to ULOPTNS and change the settings of VUU067/ULCNVTRC and VUU068/ULUNIEXP if necessary. Run INZT02. * HPU v4.2 PTF UK93299 should include following HOLD ACTIONS: Add the TRUE_UNICODE specification to ULOPTNS and change the settings of VUU067/ULCNVTRC and VUU068/ULUNIEXP if necessary. Generate the customization jobs and run the jobs associated to the INZTVAR template. PB11779
Local fix
Request the CHAR/VARCHAR data be unloaded with the mixed unicode CCSID (e.g. specify UNICODE CCSID (1208)).
