PM69749: CCSID CONVERSIONS THAT REQUIRE LENGTH CHANGES ARE NOT SUPPORTED MAY CAUSE DATA TRUNCATION

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• CCSID conversions that require length changes are not supported.
  Such a request should be rejected by HPU.
  
  The output CCSID provided via the CCSID option must ensure that:
  * the first CCSID of the list is a SBCS CCSID
  * the second CCSID of the list is a MIXED CCSID
  * the third CCSID of the list is a DBCS CCSID
  
  When this condition is not fullfilled, the output fields can be
  truncated. DB2 HPU should reject such requests.
  
  For example : The following CCSID(1208, 1208, 1208) option which
  is actually not supported is not rejected.
  
  PB11636
  

Local fix

• Use a supported CCSID option specification.

  ****************************************************************
  The inzmain, inzctrl, inztoken, inzctrlh, inzmsgs, infoutie
  modules and the insrsave skelton was changed to allow a
  rigourous control of the validity of target CCSIDs.
  

Problem conclusion

• APPLY the PTF.
