Importing DBCS data

DBCS data can be imported in queries, procedures, and forms. When importing DBCS data in this indirect way, be certain that the record length does not exceed 79 bytes. Also be sure that the data is enclosed in SO and SI delimiters. Data that does not meet these requirements appears as meaningless single-byte characters.

You can also import DBCS data as data by using the IMPORT DATA command. QMF validates it as the data is imported. If the DBCS data is not valid, the import stops. For more information about how to import QMF objects, see DB2 QMF Reference and Developing DB2 QMF Applications.
