Shape the future of IBM!

We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:

Post your ideas

Start by posting ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted and upvote them if they matter to you,

  1. Post an idea

  2. Upvote ideas that matter most to you

  3. Get feedback from the IBM team to refine your idea

Help IBM prioritize your ideas and requests

The IBM team may need your help to refine the ideas so they may ask for more information or feedback. The offering manager team will then decide if they can begin working on your idea. If they can start during the next development cycle, they will put the idea on the priority list. Each team at IBM works on a different schedule, where some ideas can be implemented right away, others may be placed on a different schedule.

Receive a notification on the decision

Some ideas can be implemented at IBM, while others may not fit within the development plans for the product. In either case, the team will let you know as soon as possible. In some cases, we may be able to find alternatives for ideas which cannot be implemented in a reasonable time.

If you encounter any issues accessing the Ideas portal, please send email describing the issue to ideasibm@us.ibm.com for resolution. For more information about IBM's Ideas program visit ibm.com/ideas.

Support for substitution characters with DFDL parser.

In ICU conversion map file, user can define "subchar" as a substitution character for unassigned code points.
MRM parser replaces unassigned code points with this substitution character defined in "subchar",
whereas current implementation of DFDL parser cannot and It throws conversion error instead,

It is common requirement to provide substitution character for unassigned code point, so DFDL parser should support the same functionality as MRM does.

    Any update on when this might be delivered in a best case scenario? I've got an issue converting Unicode Latin chars such as RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK into a DFDL COBOL message on ISO-8859-1. Currently, I'm looking at ICU translisterators but it would have been helpful to have an alternative option to hand, such as dfdl:encodingErrorPolicy.

    Thanks for your the comment.
    I'm glad to know this item is on the high on the list, and looking forward to seeing IIB implementing this feature.

    The support for the requested behavior is provided in the DFDL 1.0 specification using property dfdl:encodingErrorPolicy with value 'replace'. This has not yet been implemented by IBM DFDL, but is high on our list of things to add.
