These keywords and command parameters can be used
to change cultural and linguistic values for display files and printer files.
- The Create Display File (CRTDSPF), Change Display File (CHGDSPF), Create
Printer File (CRTPRTF), Change Printer File (CHGPRTF), and Override Printer
File (OVRPRTF) commands. You can specify a character identifier explicitly:
- As the QCHRID system value (*SYSVAL)
- As a device description or a device default of the output device (*DEVD)
- With the *JOBCCSID value
- As using the *CHRIDCTL system value (*SYSVAL)
- Character identifier (CHRID) keyword in DDS. Use this field-level keyword
to identify fields that should be converted to the character identifier (CHRID)
of the device. Use this keyword in conjunction with the CHRID parameter on
the CRTDSPF, CHGDSPF, CRTPRTF, CHGPRTF, and OVRPRTF commands. This keyword
is ignored, however, when the CHRID parameter of these commands is set to
*JOBCCSID.
- The SRTSEQ parameter and LANGID parameter on the CRTDSPF command. These
parameters can be used to specify a sort sequence and a language identifier
for a display file.
Note: If *JOBCCSID is not specified for the CHRID parameter of a display file
(either directly or indirectly with CHRIDCTL), the CHRID parameter of the
display file must be compatible with the job CCSID. Otherwise, unpredictable
results might occur when data is displayed or when data is stored in a database
file.
