Release Notes


8.2 Appendix D. National Language Support (NLS)

|8.2.1 Country/Region Code and Code Page Support:

|In the table of Supported Languages and Code Sets, code page 5488 is also |known as GB 18030, and code page 1394 is also known as ShiftJISX |0213.

|8.2.2 Import/Export/Load Considerations -- Restrictions for Code Pages 1394 and 5488

|Data in code pages 1394 (ShiftJISX 0213) and 5488 (GB 18030) can be moved |into a Unicode database using the load or import utilities. The export |utility can be used to move data from a Unicode database to a data file in |code pages 1394 and 5488.

|Only connections between a Unicode client and a Unicode server are |supported, so you need to use either a Unicode client or set the DB2 registry |variable DB2CODEPAGE to 1208 prior to using the load, import, or export |utilities.

|Conversion from code page 1394 or 5488 to Unicode may result in |expansion. For example, a 2-byte character may be stored as two 16-bit |Unicode characters in the GRAPHIC columns. You need to ensure the |target columns in the Unicode database are wide enough to contain any expanded |Unicode byte.
