Installing the previous tables for converting between code page 1394 and Unicode

The conversion tables for code page 1394 (also known as Shift JIS X0213) and Unicode were enhanced in Db2® Version 8. The enhancement ensures that the conversion between Japanese Shift JIS X0213 (1394) and Unicode conforms to the final ISO/IEC 10646-1:2000 Amendment 1 for JIS X0213 characters.
