Re: Unicode Code Dynamic Table Loading
Hi, Ken I tried your suggestion. IEASYS00 specifies a new UNI=00 value (previously, I was depending on DB2 V8 to load its pre-built image at startup, so there was no UNI= in IEASYS00). CUNUNU00 specifies: BROWSESYS1.PARMLIB(CUNUNI00) - 01.00 Command === * Top of Data * ADD,FROM=37,TO=1208,TECH=R Bottom of Data After IPL and startup of several DB2 V8 subsystems on our tech LPAR: CUN3000I 08.34.44 UNI DISPLAY 605 ENVIRONMENT: CREATED 08/05/2007 AT 17.27.02 MODIFIED 08/06/2007 AT 08.13.20 IMAGE CREATED --/--/ AT --.--.-- SERVICE: CHARACTER CASE NORMALIZATION COLLATION STRINGPREP BIDI STORAGE: ACTIVE108 PAGES LIMIT 524287 PAGES CASECONV: NONE NORMALIZE: DISABLED NORM VER: NONE COLLATE: DISABLED COLL RULES: NONE STRPROFILES: NONE CONVERSION: 01200(13488)-00037-E01208-00037-E 01208-00819-E 00037-00367-E 00037-01208-R 00367-00037-E 00037-01200(13488)-R Wow.

No. If you have UNI=, then you are taking the image from a parmlib member. SCUNIMG came in later via APAR. None of our systems had it for a long time.

Unicode Code Dynamic Table Loading
In z/OS V1.7 I have found the following information Unicode dynamic table loading: Unicode support will be enhanced to dynamically load conversion tables on demand. This can help eliminate the setup tasks previously required for Unicode, including the CUNUNIxx parmlib member IMAGE statement updates. A new operator command will be provided that can allow tables to be added, removed, and replaced. How exactly will I know this is working. Does IBM now ship all the possible variations of UNICODE and therefore has a table to load from when needed? Does this truly remove my need to gen the CUNUNIxx member?
