This Natural profile and session parameter specifies whether a conversion error that occurs when converting
from Unicode to code page or
from code page to Unicode or
from one code page to another code page
results in a Natural error or not. Anyway, after the conversion, the target operand will contain the conversion result where all characters which can not be converted will be replaced by a substitution character which is defined by ICU for the affected code page. This parameter is not regarded for the conversion of Natural sources when loading them into the source area or during catalog.
On mainframe platforms, it is not regarded whether a Unicode field is
converted into the code page before an I/O on a terminal emulation. In this
case, the substitution character is replaced by the place holder character
which is defined in NATCONFG.
