SYMPTOMS
When you try to retrieve data by using the Microsoft Host Integration Server 2000 DB2OLEDB driver through a linked server from AS/400, you may receive an error that is similar to the following:
CAUSE
The Host Integration Server DB2OLEDB driver always overrides the column host character code set identifier (CCSID) with the late descriptor CCSID. If the late descriptor CCSID is 65535 (a binary type) and if the BinAsChar parameter is set to yes (convert all binary data to character data), the data conversion fails because 65535 is not a valid CCSID. This hotfix changes the host CCSID from 65535 to the default mixed-byte host CCSID.
Note Typically, this problem only occurs if the binary data is in the double-byte character set (DBCS).
