Notes:

1.Code page 1004 is supported as code page 1252.

2.In general, data can be converted from a code page to a CCSID and back again to the same code page with no change. The following are the only exceptions to that rule:

v In double-byte character set (DBCS) code pages, some data containing user-de®ned characters may be lost.

vFor single-byte code pages de®ned within mixed-byte code pages, and for some newer single-byte code pages, characters that do not exist in both the source and the target may be mapped to substitution characters and then lost when the data is converted back to the original code page.

3.For bidirectional languages, a number of special ²BiDi CCSIDS² have been de®ned by IBM and are supported by DB2 Connect Version 6.

If the bidirectional attributes of the database server are different from those of the client you can use these special CCSIDS to manage the difference.

Refer to the Administration Guide for details of these special CCSIDs. Refer to the Release Notes for DB2 Connect Version 6 for detailed information about how to set them up for DRDA host connections.

Bidirectional CCSID Support

The following BiDi attributes are required for correct handling of Bidirectional data on different platforms:

-Text type (LOGICAL vs VISUAL)

-Shaping (SHAPED vs UNSHAPED)

-Orientation (RIGHT-TO-LEFT vs LEFT-TO-RIGHT)

-Numeral shape (ARABIC vs HINDI)

-Symmetric swapping (YES or NO)
