V7 - Truncate VARCHAR columns larger than 32592 allowing loads/replication

V5 allowed loads/replication of tables having a VARCHAR column larger than 32592. V7 does not. Our company has several tables that are loaded/replicated to the V5 appliance that now cannot be. The tables can not be changed because they are part of a vendor product.

    We need to address this with Db2 Warehouse as there are different max length of VARCHAR in Db2 for z/OS and Db2 Warehouse.
    Truncating the string in the Accelerator server will need the row counter job to parse the page format which will come with a performance hit.
