Notes:
ICU
is identical to the
session parameter IC
. The difference is that
the insertion characters are always stored in Unicode format. This allows you
to specify insertion characters with mixed characters from different code
pages, and assures that always the correct character is displayed independent
of the installed system code page.
ICU
and
LCU
are mutually exclusive.
