Fixed value range/s not identical in ASCII and EBCDIC

Message text: Fixed value range/s not identical in ASCII and EBCDIC
What causes this issue?
The specified fixed value range defines a different set of values in
the character set ASCII and in character set EBCDIC, as the
<DS:TX.DDDOK_ASCII_EBCDIC>sequence</> of the individual characters
within these character sets differs.
The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?
If the specified fixed value range is to be used on computers with the
character set ASCII as well as on computers with the character set
EBCDIC, divide the fixed value ranges into several smaller ranges which
define the same set of values in the two character sets.
Examples:
(a) Ranges from single characters:
[a, z] The special characters included in
character set EBCDIC can generally be neglected
[A, I]
[J, R]
[S, Z]
[0, 9]
(b) Ranges from several characters:
- The lower and upper limits of the range must be of the same
length and every character must be the same.
- The last character must be from the same unique single
character range in the lower and upper limit (see a).
[0A, 0F]
[3b, 3x]
(c) All other ranges define different sets of values in ASCII and
EBCDIC.
[Z0, Z999] in ASCII contains strings which are not contained
in EBCDIC:
ZA, ..., ZZ, Za, ..., Zz
[0Z, 9Z] in EBCDIC contains strings which are not contained
in ASCII:
00, ..., 09
in ASCII contains strings which are not contained
in EBCDIC:
0a, ..., 0z
[AA, BB] in EBCDIC contains strings which are not contained
in ASCII:
A0, ..., A9
in ASCII contains strings which are not contained
in EBCDIC:
Aa, ..., Az
