DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / A50 - DB2

EXPORT from sjis database to a utf8 code page file with 
"modified by codepage=1208", exported data may be truncated 
unexpectedly. 
 
Problem Reproducible Steps: 
=========================== 
 
-------------------------------------------------------- 
case1_step1.sh 
-------------------------------------------------------- 
#!/bin/sh 
# sjis db -> utf8 export 
# This file contains sjis Japanese characters 
 
export LANG=Ja_JP 
db2start 
db2 "drop db SJIS" 
db2 "create database SJIS using codeset IBM-943 territory JP" 
db2 "connect to SJIS" 
db2 "create table TAB1 (col1 VARCHAR(60), col2 VARCHAR(60))" 
db2 "insert into TAB1 (col1, col2) values 
('??????????????????????????????','????????????????????????????? 
???????????????????????????????')" 
db2 "terminate" 
-------------------------------------------------------- 
 
case1_step2.sh 
-------------------------------------------------------- 
#!/bin/sh 
# sjis db -> utf8 export 
 
export LANG=Ja_JP 
db2 "connect to SJIS" 
db2 -ec -a "export to tab1.sjis.del of del modified by 
codepage=1208 select * from TAB1" 
db2 "terminate" 
-------------------------------------------------------- 
 
1. $ export LANG=Ja_JP 
   ==>> set terminal, Ja_JP (sjis) enable to send/receive 
2. $ case1_step1.sh 
3. $ case1_step2.sh 
   ==>> No SQL3132W is returned and sqlcode is 0 
   ==>> using "modified by codepage=1208" to convert from SJIS 
to UTF8 
 
4. $ export LANG=JA_JP 
   ==>> set terminal, JA_JP (utf8) enable to send/receive 
5. $ more tab1.sjis.del 
   "????????????????????","????????????????????" 
   ==>> The exported del file contains only first 20 chars 
truncated columns as above. 
 
Root cause: 
EXPORT command can not handle data ideally when code conversion 
is occurred with "modified by codepage" option. 
 
Condition of problem: 
When "modified by codepage" option is used under some code 
conversion situations.
