When to copy the Japanese DBCS master sort table from a data file

Copy the Japanese DBCS master sort table from a data file in the following instances:
  • When you plan on using the CPYIGCSRT command. In this case, you can copy the AS/Entry master sort file (#KAMAST) file from the System/36™ or AS/Entry to the iSeries™ server. The CPYIGCSRT command copies sort information from the #KAMAST file to the iSeries master sort table (QCGMSTR). Delete the #KAMAST file from the iSeries server after you complete the copy operation.
  • When you have copied a version of the master table to a data file and you now want to restore that version.
Note: You should always migrate or copy the Japanese DBCS master sort table together with the Japanese DBCS font tables.
