Unicode On Demand worked just fine in z/OS 1.7. For DB2, you'll need to make sure you have OA14231/UA27251 (from way back in July 2006) applied. Make sure to follow the instructions in DOC APAR OA23852 to catalog two SYS1.SCUNnnn data sets which are now required for this support, and then

You need one more step. At IPL, hopefully in COMMND00 or some point early in the IPL, issue SET UNI=00 to add one conversion image. It does not matter which conversion image gets loaded. The act of loading the *first* conversion image causes Unicode On Demand to initialize. Then, when DB2

Well, if you *don't* initialize Unicode On Demand by issuing a simple command at IPL time, DB2 Version 8 will detect that Unicode has not been initialized and will attempt to load the huge pre-built image. Since the pre-built image load proces is not working for the original poster (in his
