When the number of key fields and a value are used to specify the
FROMKEY or TOKEY parameter, no conversions are done on the input string. The
input string is used as is.
When you specify *BLDKEY on the FROMKEY or TOKEY for DBCS-graphic
fields, you should enclose the DBCS data in shift-out and shift-in characters. The copy command assumes that the DBCS data is in the associated DBCS CCSID
of the job CCSID. The shift-out and shift-in characters are removed before
building the key. A message is sent and the copy operation ends:
- If the input string is not enclosed in shift-out and shift-in (SO-SI)
characters OR
- The data cannot be converted to the DBCS CCSID of the from-file key field
