The -l option specifies the code page for the database connection. Enter the code page name you want to assign to the database connection. For example, to assign the US-ASCII code page to the database connection, enter the code page name “US-ASCII.”

Changing the database connection code page can cause data inconsistencies if the new code page is not compatible with the source or target database connection code pages. Also, if you configure the Integration Service for data code page validation, changing the database connection code page can cause sessions to fail if the source database connection code page is not a subset of the target database connection code page.
