JR41774  Parallel Engine modify function uppercase_string() does not convert char 0xFF to uppercase 0xBE for charset ASCL_ISO8859-1 .

For string columns by default Latin-1 encoding is used for upper or lower case conversions. Environment variable APT_TRANSLITERATE_CASE_USES_NLS_MAP has been added and when it is defined the job's NLS map is used for upper or lowercasing.

Customer should set APT_TRANSLITERATE_CASE_USES_NLS_MAP for using Job's NLS map for case conversions of string type. If APT_TRANSLITERATE_CASE_USES_NLS_MAP is added in job properties the job should be recompiled. If APT_TRANSLITERATE_CASE_USES_NLS_MAP is added at project level no job compilation is required and the variable gets
effected to all jobs in the project.

Conversion functions effected are uppercase_string(),lowercase_string() of Modify stage and DataStage functions DownCase(), Upcase().
