Error description

  • When a conversion utility fails to convert column data into the
    EBCDIC encoding, the product may incorrectly perform the
    conversion from Unicode. This APAR corrects the behavior, and
    the tool will automatically switch to HEX representation.
    

Local fix

  • Use option 'CHAR DATA IN HEX' manually for Unicode based
    tablespaces.
