Conversion of Character Data

When character data is transferred between machines, it must be converted to a form that the receiving machine can use.

For example, when data is transferred between the DB2 Connect workstation and a host or AS/400 database server, it is usually converted from a workstation code page to a host CCSID, and vice versa. If the two machines use different code pages or CCSIDs, code points are mapped from one code page or CCSID to the other. This conversion is always performed at the receiver.

Character data sent to a database consists of SQL statements and input data. Character data sent from a database consists of output data. Output data that is interpreted as bit data (for example, data from a column declared with the
