Coded Character Set Identifier conversions

iSeries™ uses Coded Character Set Identifier (CCSID) information to interpret the input data and provide the output data in the proper format for display.

• Specify mapping tables
  For File Transfer Protocol (FTP) client, the ASCII mapping tables are specified in the FTP command. For FTP server this is done in the Change FTP Attributes (CHGFTPA) command.
• CCSID code page tagging for iSeries files
  When File Transfer Protocol (FTP) creates a new file on an iSeries server, it is tagged with a Coded Character Set Identifier (CCSID) or the code page of that CCSID to identify the character data in that file. When replacing or appending data to an existing file, the tag of the file is not changed.
