DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC84467 Status: Closed

WHEN IMPORT FROM FILE ENCODED IN UTF-8 INTO COLUMN DEFINED AS GRAPHIC ON
UNICODE DATABASE, STRING MAY BE TRUNCATED.

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / A10 - DB2
Problem description:
If a column is defined as GRAPHIC(n), and when importing the 
data in "n" characters in a file encoded in UTF-8, the 
characters may be truncated, since the character strings in 
UTF-8 format may have different lengths in bytes from the target 
column. 
However, as long as the same number of characters is defined, it 
should be imported.

the source data will fit in all cases despite mismatched column 
definitions.
