Folks, I have a situation where I may need to take ASCII data from an HP and
update mainframe data. I believe I know how I need to do this but for piece
of mind I want to run it buy the experts.

If I declare the host variables where I will stage the data (Select  Into
from HP) as CCSID 37 will the data in fact be converted by DB2 from ASCII to
EBCDIC ?

Is there a better way to accomplish this i.e.. a function?
