Jim, 

I remember their was a bug (e.g.APAR) because 
CONVERSION 1140,1200; /* Latin-1 to UTF-16, *RECLM*               */
CONVERSION 1200,1140; /* UTF-16 to Latin-1, *RECLM*               */
wasn't the same like
CONVERSION 1140,1200,RECLM; /* Latin-1 to UTF-16, *RECLM*               */
CONVERSION 1200,1140,RECLM; /* UTF-16 to Latin-1, *RECLM*               */

We run z/OS R4 with current maintenance and have
CONVERSION 1252,1200,;   /* ASCII WINDOWS   --> UTF-16          */ 
CONVERSION 1200,1252,;   /* UTF-16          --> ASCII WINDOWS   */ 
for Enterprise Cobol 3.4 and 
CONVERSION 1252,1200,ER; /* ASCII WINDOWS   --> UTF-16          */
CONVERSION 1200,1252,ER; /* UTF-16          --> ASCII WINDOWS   */
for DB2V8

D UNI,ALL shows (for these combination)

01252-01200(13488)-R        01252-01200(13488)-L
01200(13488)-01252-E        01200(13488)-01252-L

Just trust the CUNMIUTL utility and run your Cobol and DB2 
applications. Seems some parts can be shared between Cobol and DB2 among others 
like ISPF, NFS. 

Hopefully in z/OS R8 these conversationt tables will be build undercover on the 
fly.

OK,  I'm looking at the Enterprise COBOL V3R4 Customization 
Guide chapter 4.4 which has an example of the unicode 
requirements for both DB2 and COBOL which contains the 
following statements -

CONVERSION 1140,1200; /* Latin-1 to UTF-16, *RECLM*               */
CONVERSION 1200,1140; /* UTF-16 to Latin-1, *RECLM*

CONVERSION 1140,1200,ER; /* Latin-1 to UTF-16, ER
CONVERSION 1200,1140,ER; /* UTF-16 to Latin-1, ER
