DEFAULT_INPUTERROR

This parameter identifies the appropriate action when the input file contains data that is not consistent with the specified input character set.

REPLACE: Replace each piece of erroneous data with the default substitution characters defined for the Unicode character set.
REPLACE#nnnnnnn: Replace each piece of erroneous data with the Unicode character that the decimal value nnnnnnn identifies. 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 ignored bytes. 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_INPUTERROR is used when z/OS is the local partner and MBCS_INPUTERROR is not specified.
