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.
