Goal

 Problem converting Oracle EBS database to UTF8 (multi-byte) characterset (PO)

We are currently in an exercise to convert our Oracle EBS database from
Western European to UTF8 (multi-byte) characterset to support Asian Languages
as part of the business requirements.


As part of the exercise, the DBCS scanning reveals that we have about 120K
number of records across different tables which failed due to the size of the
data value exceeding the respective table column size after conversion.

Will Purchasing development provide a data fix script?
