  Question: What is the Effect of Unicode on DB2 Catalog and Directory DASD Requirements? What percentage of increase should we be prepared to request from our storage administrators?
  Answer: Customers that have already converted to DB2 V8 have varied experiences with the implementation of UNICODE on the DB2 catalog and directory. There are customers that have seen a reduction in DASD requirements and those that have seen a 1 to 10 percent increase in DASD requirements.
  There appears to be one major factor that will greatly affect your experience more than any other. When was the last time that you reorganized the DB2 catalog and directory? If it has been a long time since this event, then the impact of UNICODE on DASD requirements will probably be minor, you might even see a reduction in space allocated. This is because a disorganized catalog that has not been reorganized is probably over allocated to start with. If, however, you have reorganized the catalog and directory recently, then you may see an increase in the range of 1 to 5 percent. There have been anomalies where the increase was 10 percent, but an increase of that size is not representative of most shops.
