When you need 'em, you need 'em. We likewise had to implement initially a while back because of some DB2 maintenance. Took quite a while and IBM help to figure out was wrong.
There are basically two ways to implement: throw in *every* possible conversion table (easy), or track down just the ones you need and implement only those (harder). The main reason for not taking the easy shotgun approach is that UCS tables live in page-fixed storage, which effectively means real storage. I'm probably overly sensitive to this requirement; in a well-heeled LPAR you probably wouldn't notice the impact. Nonetheless, I still think it's worth being a little choosy in order to minimize the real storage cost. It's a business issue more than a technical one. . . .
