Inserting Unicode data into a non-Unicode table

If you insert Unicode data into an EBCDIC or ASCII table, use escaped data for those characters that cannot be represented in the target encoding scheme. Using escaped data ensures that those characters are preserved.

To insert Unicode data into a non-Unicode table, perform one of the following actions:

• If the target table is ASCII, use the ASCII_STR function to generate escaped data for those characters that do not exist in ASCII.
• If the target table is EBCDIC, use the EBCDIC_STR function to generate escaped data for those characters that do not exist in EBCDIC.
