Can you select replacement character in translation from unicode (UTF-16)

Problem is as follows:

A file with text field in Unicode (UTF-16) is read by a job running under CCSID 870 (Czech).

The text field has a character value that is valid in many language locales but not in Czech.

As a result these characters are replaced with X'3F' in the conversion process between Unicode and Ebcdic. 3F causes lots of problem when it is passed on later in the chain.

Question: Is there anywhere where you can configure the system to replace non-existing characters with some other hex code (preferably X'40' since that will not cause problems later in the chain)?


Med vänlig hälsning / Best regards
