The system provides automatic conversion between character set and code pages for all applications that are enabled for national language support.
This automatic conversion can be controlled in the display, menu, or panel source, or through the CHRID parameter on the control language (CL) commands that create these displays. The character set and code page of the device used by the user is determined by the CHRID parameter in the device description. The CHRID value is normally set to *KBDTYPE.
When the data to be presented is in a character set and code page different from the language of the user, automatic data conversion might occur.
