Code page identifier override

Enter a value indicating a Coded Character Set Identifier (CCSID) to override your local code page identifier.

Use this setting if your platform has been updated for euro support, and the CICS® Server has euro support. For example, for Latin-1 countries, use a CCSID value of 858 to indicate that the code page 850 includes euro support. For code page 1252, specify a CCSID value of 5348.

Note:
  1. Regardless of the value in the Code page identifier override setting, cicsterm always displays characters based on the local code page of the workstation.
  2. If you use the CCSID to change the code page identifier, data that is already stored on the server might be modified when retrieved by the CICS Universal Client, if it includes characters for which the code points produce different characters.
  3. AIX® operating system: On AIX 4.3.2 and above, support for Ja_JP locale uses CCSID=943. If the CICS Server does not support this CCSID, enter a code page identifier override of 932, or add the statement 'CCSID=932' to the Client Section of the configuration file ctg.ini.

For details of the corresponding entry in the configuration file, see CCSID (CLIENT section of the configuration file).
