Specifes that the data in UTF-8 and UTF-18 be normalized.
Both UTF-8 and UTF-16 data can contain combining characters. Combining character support allows a resulting character to be comprised of more than one character. After the first character, up to 300 different non-spacing accent characters (umlaut, accent...) can follow in the data string. If the resulting character is one that is already defined in the character set, normalization replaces the string of combining characters with the hex value of the defined character. If the resulting character is not a defined character, the combining character string is unchanged after normalization.
Normalize data can only be used with a CCSID keyword value of 1200 on a graphic field or 1208 on a character field.
