BL_CODEPAGE= Data Set Option

Identifies the code page that the DBMS engine uses to convert SAS character data to the current database code page during bulk load.
Valid in: DATA and PROC steps (when accessing DBMS data using SAS/ACCESS software)
Default: the code page ID of the current window
Requirements: The value for this option must never be 0. If you do not wish any code page conversions to take place, use the BL_OPTIONS= option to specify 'FORCEIN'. Code page conversions occur for only DB2 character data types.

To specify this option, you must first set BULKLOAD=YES.

Data source: DB2 under UNIX and PC Hosts
