DSXchange

Hi Guys,

When executing DS jobs on 8.1 parallel, we have hit with the warning message below.

main_program: Invalid character(s) ([xA9]) found converting string (code point(s): IBM Confidential, OCO Source Materials, [xA9] Copyright IBM Corp. 2005, 2006 All Rig...) from codepage UTF-8 to Unicode, substituting.

It's harmless and we are able to execute the jobs without any issues.

Did any of you guys experienced this before? and is there a DS or OS patch for it?

Cheers!

That "copyright symbol" issue has been mentioned before and a search for something like "IBM Confidential" should turn them up. Is there a Pivot stage in the jobs with this warning?

Hi Craig,

Will do a search on that. No of the jobs use the pivot stages.

Cheers!
