Migrated data with Special Characters Counted as 2 Characters in DB2 Linux
We are currently migrating data from DB2 10.1 AIX to DB2 11.1 Linux. Since we are using some features like versioning/history tables and rowchangetimestamps, db2move is not an option for some tables. As a result we do manual export and load for some tables.
The problem arrises for data having special character such as "Ñ".
Sample Data
PIÑATA
The AIX DB2 10.1 Counts the length for this as 6 characters and it fits fine to VARCHAR(6) columns. But when I load this to DB2 Linux 11.1, this is counted as 7 characters, thus data is truncated.
I tried CASTING this as VARCHAR(6) but the data is still truncated. I hope someone can point me to a possible solution.
