Change in Default Character Conversion in Single-Byte Static Code Pages
Change in Default Character Conversion in Single-Byte Static Code Pages
The default for the EXT_CP_SUPPT statement in the DBMOVER configuration file has changed. In PowerExchange releases earlier than 9.6.0, the EXT_CP_SUPPT default is N. In PowerExchange 9.6.0 and later, the default is Y.
This statement controls whether PowerExchange converts certain characters from their EBCDIC to their corresponding ASCII values. The statement affects EBCDIC characters X'41', X'FF', and characters with a value of less than X'40' in
single-byte
static code pages.
If you need to retain the previous default method of mapping for particular EBCDIC values (for example, if you need to map EBCDIC X'FF' to ASCII X'FF'), Informatica recommends that you create a customized ICU code page.
