Job default coded character set identifier

A job attribute, job default CCSID (DFTCCSID), is created for jobs with a CCSID of 65535. The DFTCCSID value is used by a system code when a CCSID other than 65535 is needed.

The DFTCCSID attribute can only be retrieved or displayed. The value of this attribute is determined as follows:

If the job CCSID is not 65535, the DFTCCSID equals the job CCSID.
If the job CCSID is 65535, the DFTCCSID value is based on an appropriate value derived from the job language identifier (LANGID).

When the job is running, the system determines the default CCSID for a job using the following logic (you can find the corresponding CCSID for LANGID in default CCSID table):

If the job CCSID is set to a value, it uses that value.
If the job CCSID is set to *USRPRF, then the system checks the user profile for the value.
If the user profile is set to a value, it uses that value.
If the user profile is set to *SYSVAL, the system checks the system value.
If the system value for QCCSID is set to a value, it uses that value.
If the system value is set to 65535, the system checks the job's language ID.
If the job's LANGID is set to a value, the QTQ_DEFAULT_CCSID environment variable is checked for that LANGID value. If the QTQ_DEFAULT_CCSID environment variable contains a value for that LANGID, the CCSID specified in the QTQ_DEFAULT_CCSID environment variable is used. If the QTQ_DEFAULT_CCSID environment variable does not contain a value for the LANGID, the system converts that LANGID to a CCSID.
If the job's LANGID is set to *USRPRF, the system checks the user profile's language ID.
If the user profile's LANGID is set to a value, the QTQ_DEFAULT_CCSID environment variable is checked for that LANGID value. If the QTQ_DEFAULT_CCSID environment variable contains a value for that LANGID, the CCSID specified in the QTQ_DEFAULT_CCSID environment variable is used. If the QTQ_DEFAULT_CCSID environment variable does not contain a value for the LANGID, the system converts that LANGID to a CCSID.
If the user profile's LANGID is set to *SYSVAL, the QTQ_DEFAULT_CCSID environment variable is checked for that LANGID value. If the QTQ_DEFAULT_CCSID environment variable contains a value for that LANGID, the CCSID specified in the QTQ_DEFAULT_CCSID environment variable is used. If the QTQ_DEFAULT_CCSID environment variable does not contain a value for the LANGID, the system converts that LANGID to a CCSID.
