Re: Square Brackets in DB2 file

Hi,

We have a table which have Square Brackets, this table is access from one
of our Java program, when the Java Guys read those records with Square
Brackets (specially the opening Brackets ([), those are being read as Caret
(^).

Does anyone know why this, most likely a issue with code pages.

That's exactly what it is.

In the U.S. English EBCDIC code page, left square bracket is x'BA', and right square bracket is x'BB'

In CCSID 284 (Spanish), x'BA' is caret, and x'BB' is solid vertical bar.

In the UK codepage (my chart doesn't give a CCSID), x'BA' is a caret, and x'BB' is a right bracket.

In most other codepages, including Multinational, x'BA' is a negation sign, and x'BB' is a solid vertical bar.
