UCS-2 graphic fields restrictions

 

There are some restrictions when you copy from or to a UCS-2 graphic field.

The CPYF and CPYFRMQRYF commands with FMTOPT(*MAP) specified are not allowed when you copy from or to a UCS-2 graphic field unless the corresponding field is a UCS-2 or DBCS-graphic field (any CCSID including 65535), or is a character, DBCS-open, DBCS-either, or DBCS-only field with a CCSID other than 65535. The only other corresponding type allowed to have a CCSID of 65535 is DBCS-graphic. The following parameters for the CPYF command do not support UCS-2 or UTF-16 graphic fields, or UTF-8 character fields:

• FROMKEY(*BLDKEY) that refers to a UCS-2 or UTF-16 graphic keyfield, or a UTF-8 character keyfield

• TOKEY(*BLDKEY) that refers to a UCS-2 or UTF-16 graphic keyfield, or a UTF-8 character keyfield

• INCCHAR that specifies a UCS-2 or UTF-16 graphic field name, or a UTF-8 character field name

• INCREL that specifies a UCS-2 or UTF-16 graphic field name, or a UTF-8 character field name
