*TYPE2 directories require the link names to be valid UTF-16 names.
The naming rule of * TYPE2 directories differs from *TYPE1 directories, which have UCS2 Level 1 names. For this reason, invalid or duplicate names might be found during a directory conversion. When a name is found to be invalid or a duplicate, the name is changed to a unique, valid, UTF-16 name, and message CPIA08A is sent to the QFILESYS1 job log and the QSYSOPR message queue listing the original name and the new name. Combined characters or invalid surrogate character pairs contained in a name might cause an object to be renamed.
For more information about UTF-16, refer to the Unicode home page (www.unicode.org).
