Workstation function management involves working with display files,
printer files, as well as panel group objects and user interface
manager (UIM) menus.
Note: All source files on the system are tagged with a coded character set
identifier (CCSID).
Display files
When a display file object is created, it is tagged with the coded character set identifier (CCSID) of the source file.
Printer files
When a printer file object is created, it is tagged with the coded character set identifier (CCSID) of the source file. Processing of the source files for printer files is the same as for display files. At compile time, all character data is read from the primary source file without any character conversion being performed.
User interface manager menus and panel groups
Like display files and printer files, panel group objects and user interface manager (UIM) menus are tagged with the CCSID of the primary source file. The contents of embedded source members are converted to this CCSID.
