The build descriptor option clientCodeSet specifies the name of the coded character set that is in effect when you generate COBOL source on the workstation.
The coded character set identified in clientCodeSet must be the one defined to the ICONV conversion service on the machine where the build server is started. The default is IBM-850, which is a standard character set for Latin-1 countries.
