Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: Users of WIDECHAR variables in EXEC SQL      *
    *                 statements                                   *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The SQL preprocessor was setting the    *
    *                      CCSID for a WIDECHAR host variable to 0 *
    *                      (under the CCSID0 option) and otherwise *
    *                      to the value of the CODEPAGE option. It *
    *                      should have been setting it to 1200 in  *
    *                      all cases. It was also setting GRAPHIC  *
    *                      variables to 1200 (under NOCCSID0)      *
    *                      which is wrong as they do not hold      *
    *                      UTF-16                                  *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    The SQL preprocessor has been changed to fix both of these
    problems
    

Problem conclusion

  • WIDECHAR host variables will now always have a CCSID of 1200,
    and GRAPHIC variables never will
