Keep this information in mind when using DB2 Universal Database™ (UDB) for iSeries™ applications.

• Implicit conversion when comparing Unicode fields with character/IGC/graphic fields as well as with literals and host variables can occur.
• Physical and logical files with Unicode fields cannot have their CCSIDs changed with the Change Physical File (CHGPF) command.
• A Unicode CCSID is not allowed on the CHGPF command.
• The Copy File (CPYF) and Copy From Query File (CPYFRMQRYF) commands with FMTOPT(*MAP) specified is not allowed when copying from or to a Unicode graphic field unless:
  • The corresponding field is a Unicode or DBCS-graphic field.
  • The corresponding field is a character, DBCS-open, DBCS-either, or DBCS-only field with a CCSID other than 65535.
• The Copy File (CPYF) command supports copying of SBCS character, DBCS-open, DBCS-only, DBCS-either, and DBCS-graphic fields to and from Unicode graphic fields. There is limited support for Unicode on the FROMKEY, TOKEY, INCCHAR, and INCREL parameters.
