Conversion exceptions

Implicit or explicit conversion between national data and alphanumeric data can fail and generate a severity-3 Language Environment condition.

Failure can occur if the code page that you specified implicitly or explicitly is not a valid code page.

A character that does not have a counterpart in the target CCSID does not result in a conversion exception. Such a character is converted to a substitution character in the target code page.
