Host character set

Type the character set in the Host character set field.

Both the Host codepage (CP) and the Host character set (CS) must be specified in order to be used. If specified they are used in translating the data from host to workstation. If the code page and character set are specified as 0000, values from the terminal query will be used.

If your terminal/emulator does not support code pages, the CODEPAGE and CHARSET parameter values on ISPSTART will be used. The default will be English (U.S.) if these ISPSTART parameters are not specified. The default is 0000 for both. For more information on code pages and character sets refer to the ISPF Dialog Developer's Guide and Reference.

The default is 0000.
