DEFAULT_CONVERROR

This parameter identifies the action when the input file contains characters that cannot be converted as they are not included within the output character sets character repertoire.

REPLACE

Replace each unconvertible character with the default substitution characters defined for the Unicode character set.

REPLACE#nnnnnnn

Replace each unconvertible character with the Unicode character that the decimal value nnnnnnn identifies. If the specified replacement character cannot be represented in the output character set, then the transfer is failed. This option is not supported for z/OS systems, where the replacement character is defined in the conversion table that is defined to IBM Unicode Services. This option is treated as REPLACE. The replacement character has a valid range of 1 – 1114111.

SKIP

The erroneous data is disregarded, but a warning message is issued at the end of the transfer. The message identifies that this condition occurred and provides a total count of the number of skipped characters. This option is not supported for z/OS systems and is treated as REPLACE.

FAIL

The transfer terminates with an error condition.

Default: FAIL

Note: DEFAULT_CONVERROR is used when z/OS is the remote partner and MBCS_CONVERROR is not specified.
