JR33436: MAINTAIN LOW VALUES CONTAINED IN CHARACTER DATA AND DO NOT TRUNCATE.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The Teradata Load stage is processing character data that
  contains low value characters incorrectly.  Once the low values
  are ecountered, the parser sees this as end of data and
  truncates remaining characters.
  

Local fix

• To designate the character field as binary so no conversion of
  data takes place.
  

Problem summary
