Default CCSID

Every application server and application requester has a default CCSID (or default CCSIDs in installations that support DBCS data). The CCSID of the following types of strings is determined at the current server:

If one of the types of strings above is used in a CREATE VIEW statement, the default CCSID is determined at the time the view is created.

In a distributed application, the default CCSID of variables is determined by the application requester. In a non-distributed application, the default CCSID of variables is determined by the application server. On i5/OS, the default CCSID is determined by the CCSID job attribute. For more information about CCSIDs, see the Work with CCSIDs topic in the Globalization section of the iSeries Information Center.

If the default CCSID is 65535, the CCSID used will be the value of the DFTCCSID job attribute (or an associated CCSID of the DFTCCSID).
