DB2 <strong>and</strong> friends…<br />
DB2 for z/OS Server<br />
This picture is showing that data <strong>do</strong>es not have to come into DB2 through a<br />
terminal emulator to cause problems.<br />
All character data has a <strong>CCSID</strong>. That <strong>CCSID</strong> may be implicit or it may be<br />
explicit, but there is a <strong>CCSID</strong> for the data.<br />
In this case, you might have data coming through a (golden) gateway, a tape,<br />
electronic computer to computer transfer (such as FTP), or LOAD. In every case<br />
there is a <strong>CCSID</strong> associated with the data <strong>and</strong> if DB2 <strong>do</strong>es not know what the<br />
<strong>CCSID</strong> is, it may treat the data incorrectly.
