APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • RCP is enabled, and columns are not defined, client character
    set is LATIN1_0A, character columns in the DDL for the table are
    defined as LATIN, data is loaded into a new dataset.
    They are expecting the character data in the schema for the
    created dataset to be set to 'string' but they are coming out as
    'ustring'
    
    If so, is there a way we can disable this? Env. variable?
