PowerExchange uses ICU to perform code page conversion on character data.
Y.
PowerExchange uses the IBM ICONV() implementation to perform code page conversion on character data.
Specify Y if the data that PowerExchange processes uses complex code pages, such as Chinese, Danish, Korean, Japanese, or Turkish code pages. For complex code pages, using ICONV functions can improve PowerExchange performance by reducing the amount of memory required for code page conversion.
Specify Y if the PowerExchange Listener for z/OS logs message PWX-00644 when memory runs out, and the data that PowerExchange processes uses complex code pages, such as Chinese, Danish, Korean, Japanese, or Turkish code pages. Most code page conversion happens on the PowerExchange Client system, and only a small amount of code page conversion happens on z/OS.
