Description:
Running a SELECT query over an IBMDB2I table with a cp1250 character set produces an error in the MySQL error log:
ibmdb2i error 2027: Error converting single-byte sort sequence to UCS-2 

Further analysis indicates that this is coming from records_in_range(), and that the error prevents records_in_range() from returning correct estimates to the optimizer.

How to repeat:
create table t1 (c char(10), index(c)) character set cp1250 engine=ibmdb2i;
insert into t1 values ("this"),("that"),("the other"); 
select * from t1 where c like "th%";
>> error log shows: "ibmdb2i error 2027: Error converting single-byte sort sequence to UCS-2 "

      Bug#45197 cp1250 character set with IBMDB2I generates 2027 error
      
      Running a SELECT query over an IBMDB2I table with a cp1250 character set
      was producing an error 2027 (ibmdb2i error 2027: Error converting single-byte
      sort sequence to UCS-2).
      
      The QMY_DESCRIBE_RANGE API was returning error 2027 to the storage engine
      because the CCSID used for a cp1250 column (870) does not match the CCSID
      used by the DB2 sort sequences associated with cp1250_* collations (1153).
      This was because the storage engine relies on a set of system APIs to
      determine which CCSID value most closely matches a particular MySQL
      character set. However, in the case of cp1250, the system is returning
      CCSID 870, which does not have a codepoint for the euro symbol, making it
      an incorrect match.
      
      This patch overrides the selection of a compatible CCSID to always return
      1153 for cp1250.
