CCSID of binary columns

By default, if a column in the source database file or view has a CCSID of 65535, no conversion of the column's data is performed when it is exported. As a result, character data can become corrupted. To prevent this, a CCSID can be specified to force conversion on the binary column during export. Use this if you are exporting character data from a column that has a CCSID of 65535.

If the column contains binary data, do not specify a CCSID, as the binary data can become corrupted in much the same way.
