Displaying Unicode characters
Log Master
supports Unicode characters in Db2 object names and column data as described in this section.
For more information about how
Log Master handles Unicode characters in output files, see the section about Considerations-for-output-files-and-Unicode.
In input from the online interface,
Log Master accepts EBCDIC characters and translates them to Unicode when the context requires it; for example, in Unicode Db2 object names, or in Unicode column data.
In output to the online interface,
Log Master displays Unicode in one of the following ways:
Translates Unicode characters to EBCDIC whenever possible
For untranslatable characters,
Log Master displays a substitute character as defined by the applicable CCSID conversion information; for example, x'3F', which appears as a space on most output devices.
- Displays Unicode characters in the format used to previously enter them (the hexadecimal representation of the UTF-8 values for all characters in the string, as described in this section)
To enter Unicode object names or column data through the online interface
Enter the equivalent EBCDIC characters.For untranslatable Unicode characters, enter the hexadecimal representation of the UTF-8 values for all characters in the string.
Log Master provides support for this capability in selected online interface fields.
In this example, 'E4B883' is an untranslatable character. After you enter a Unicode constant or Unicode object name in the hexadecimal UTF-8 format, the
Log Master online interface displays this format on all panels (shown in the following figure.)
