The printer provides printed output to the user. i5/OS™ printer support does not do any conversion between the different character sets. For the data to be printed, the user must make sure that the proper character set and code page are specified in the printer and the fonts are in the printer.
If the CHRID value of the printer file is set to *JOBCCSID, the printer joins the CHRID value of the job CCSID to the data to be printed. For externally described printer files, constants within your DDS (data description specification) are converted from the DDS source file CCSID to the character identifier of the job CCSID value.
