with binary data clause

If the with binary data clause is specified, you must configure the DB2 access service DefaultClientCodeset and DefaultTargetCodeset properties to unequal values. For example:

{ACS Required}
 DefaultClientCodeset=850
 DefaultTargetCodeset=500

These unequal property value settings allow the DB2 access service to recognize that all data between the semicolon and the end of the buffer is binary.

If the property values are equal, the DB2 access service performs ASCII and EBCDIC translation with the data records.
