We are in the process of converting CA DB2 Fast Unload jobs to IBM HPU and got the below issue for atleast 16 Batch jobs and impacting the migration to IBM DB2 tools. Faced the delimiter issue with IBM HPU as below :-
CA Fast Unload output -
'000R50495013 ',3,'NM1','0FEPNM','0102 ','O''BRI, PATRICK','O''BRI '
IBM HPU Output format -
'000R50495013 ',3,'NM1','0FEPNM','0102 ','O'BRI, PATRICK','O'BRI
HPU does not repeat the character string delimiter where it is used within the character string data. HPU delimited output should repeat the character string delimiter where it is used within a string to point out that it is not the end of the string and not a delimiter in that case.
This is the standard behavior of the Broadcom DB2 Fast Unload Utility and also standard of the IBM standard unload utility to ensure that the reload of the data with the IBM DB2 Load utility is working correctly.
The IBM Load utility is able to handle these double characters. Without it, unpredictable results will occur during the load.
The problem also applies to format ‘DELIMITED’ and ‘DB2U-DELIMITED’, not only ‘FASTU-DELIMITED’.
Request you to consider this for HPU.
Thanks,
Vishwa

Hi Team,
For information. As a temporary way we have validated the below with some data it worked and validating with more data.
As in idea provided example:
First during HPU unloading Chosen an different delimiter as |.
|O'BRI, PATRICK|
Then replaced with SORT single quote as two single quotes.
|O''BRI, PATRICK|
Then replaced with SORT pipe as original default delimiter single quote.
'O''BRI, PATRICK'
Thank you, Regards,
