Hello!

I have got a little problem with DB2 Enterprise Edition Version 8.1.0
for Linux when entering special german characters as ß or ä, ö, ü
(I hope they will appear correctly in this message :-)

First, whenn entering a "ß" within a string there is no problem, but
when this character appears at the end befor the quote I get an error
message telling a quote is missing. I got a workaround by adding a
blank at the end of every string ending with a "ß"

Second I also get error messages when inserting strings containing
umlauts like "ä", "ü". "ö" but teh strange thing is, I could not find
any rule when an error appears and when not. I am only sure that it
has to do with the umlauts.

It always say something like there is a quote missing

I already tried using an extra quote or a backslash "\" but that did
not work.

As I am very new to DB2 I am happy about every hint I get from you.
Thank you in advance.
