ILE C/C++ Programmer's Guide


Creating a Source Physical File with a Coded Character Set Identifier

You specify the character set you want to use with the CCSID parameter when you create a source physical file. The default for the CCSID parameter is the CCSID of the job.

This figure shows you what happens when you create a program object that has a root source member with CCSID 273 and include files with different CCSIDs. The ILE C compiler converts the include files to CCSID 273. The program object is created with the same CCSID as the root source member.

Figure 334. Source File CCSID Conversion


Note:
Some combinations of the root source member CCSID and the include file CCSID are not supported.

Example:

The following example shows you how to specify CCSID 273 for the source physical file QCSRC in library MYLIB.

To create a source physical file with CCSID 273, type:


CRTSRCPF FILE(MYLIB/QCSRC) CCSID(273)
