  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of the DB2 Administration or DB2       *
  *                 Object Comparison Tool for z/OS who are      *
  *                 on a DB2 system with SCSID <> 37, and get    *
  *                 a parser error for a statement that          *
  *                 contains a character with hex value '5B'x,   *
  *                 '7B'x, or '7C'x.                             *

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: According to the DB2 R810 SQL           *
  *                      Reference, Language Elements,           *
  *                      Characters, "DB2 accepts code points    *

  *                      even if the CCSID that is specified is  *
  *                      not 37 or 500".  The parser did not     *
  *                      fully support this behavior.            *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
