FIX: DB2OLEDB Insert Fails If DBCS Second Byte Is EBCDIC 0x7D (321809)

SYMPTOMS

When you perform an insert of double-byte character set (DBCS) characters where the second byte is an EBCDIC 0x7D, and you use the Host Integration Server OLE DB Provider for DB2 driver, you may receive the following error message:

"SQLSTATE:42601 SQLCODE -104"

This error code description indicates that an illegal symbol was encountered in an SQL statement.

CAUSE

The Host Integration Server 2000 OLE DB Provider for DB2 incorrectly sent a single-byte stream, which caused the code to incorrectly interpret the 0x7D (part of the double-byte character) as a quotation mark.
