END OF SYMPTOM DUMP
This problem might result from the improper concatenation of localized and encoded data sets. To avoid this situation, you should use the supplied CLIST or JCL procedure that matches the 2-letter name of the language, and the 2-letter name of the encoding. For example, for English with a US encoding, the corresponding CLIST is CLSTENW0. Further, the corresponding JCL procedure is PROCENW0, and so on.
