APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • On IDz client v16.0 when attempting to select
    Japanese CodePages 1390/1399 error message is shown stating
    ⠜invalid value⠝ or ⠜not supported⠝. Other Japanese Code
    pages
    like 930 or 939 work. This error is caused due to Java 11
    not supporting these code pages.
    

Local fix

  • N/A
    

Problem summary

  • Since moving from Java 8 to Java 11, support for many code pages
     were dropped - including Japanese CodePages 1390/1399.
    Resulting in ?invalid value? or ?not supported? when trying to
    use and select those code pages.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Since Japanese CodePages 1390/1399 is no longer in Java 11, we
    resorted to using Internal Components of Unicode - or ICU for
    sure - to fill in the gaps and bring back support for missing
    charsets.
