Summary0000549: ICONV on Solaris don't support ISO-Codepages
DescriptionThe supported codepages of ICONV on solaris is very limited. For example the ISO codepages and a lot of EBCDIC code pages are not supported. The supported code pages are different between the different Solaris (Open, Sparc, ...) versions.

The problems and differences between the different iconv implementations on the different platforms have result in the decision to implement a own character conversion library. This library will support all code pages which have a known CCSID and are supported by libiconv on linux. First tests of an prototyp were 20-30% faster then libiconv on linux. The new character conversion library will have the features below:

- integrated EBCDIC new line (EBCDIC 0x15 = UCP 0x85)) to line feed (EBCDIC 0x25 = UCP 0x0A = ASCII 0x0A) conversion
- integrated case folding (to upper/lower)
- subset support (free definable valid or invalid code points (with an example for NPA))

With this new library we will resolve all ICONV releated issues.

We have implement a own character conversion module (ICV) to solve this and all other related issues.
