USE_TYPE1_FALLBACKS Statement

USE_TYPE1_FALLBACKS Statement

The USE_TYPE1_FALLBACKS statement enables type 1 fallback mappings for all code pages. A type 1 fallback mapping is a one-way mapping from a Unicode character to a character in the output code page.
To enable type 1 fallback mappings, PowerExchange calls the ucnv_setFallback() API for all code pages that it uses.
All
ICUCNVPROPERTY

USE_TYPE1_FALLBACKS={

|Y}
  • N
    .
    Type 1 fallback mappings are not globally enabled.
  • Y.
    Type 1 fallback mappings are enabled for all code pages.
Default is N.
When PowerExchange converts data between Unicode and a source or target code page, type 1 fallback mappings are disabled by default. That is, when the code page conversion routine encounters a character mapping with a precision indicator of 1 in the UCM file, the mapping is not executed. Instead, the conversion routine generates a substitution output character.
To enable type 1 fallback mappings, define USE_TYPE1_FALLBACKS=Y in the DBMOVER configuration file. Alternatively, you can enable type 1 fallback mappings for a specific code page by using the USE_TYPE1_FALLBACKS option of the ICUCNVPROPERTY statement in the DBMOVER file.
In a PowerExchange session, a code page conversion routine might use type 1 fallback mappings when writing data to a target. Type 1 fallback mappings are not typically used when reading data from a PowerExchange source.
Informatica recommends that you enable type 1 fallback mappings whenever you use PowerExchange to write multibyte data to a target.
