Database files

These command parameters and the DDS keywords can be used to change language-dependent values for database files.

You can use the following command parameters:

The SRTSEQ, LANGID, and CCSID parameters on the Create Physical File (CRTPF) command
The SRTSEQ, LANGID, and CCSID parameters on the Change Physical File (CHGPF) command
The parameters on the Copy File (CPYF) command
The SRTSEQ parameter and LANGID parameter on the Create Logical File (CRTLF) command

These parameters can be used to specify a sort sequence and language for a database file.

You can use the following DDS keywords:

The CCSID keyword. This keyword can be used to tag character data stored in a database. By default, the CCSID value is taken from the job creating the database file.
DATFMT, DATSEP, TIMFMT, and TIMSEP keywords in DDS.
The format of the data type Time (T) field is described by DDS with the TIMFMT keyword that can have *JOB specified for a value. Similarly, the format of the data type Date (L) is described by DDS with the DATFMT keyword that can have *JOB specified for a value.

Use the TIMSEP and DATSEP keywords to specify date and time separators.
