Using an alternative code set on AIX

On AIX® issue the command smitty iconv to use an alternative code set. You can view a list of the alternative code sets using the smitty lang command, which is used to set the language environment.

This command provides the Convert Flat File screen, on which you can enter parameters:

Type or select values in entry fields.
Press Enter AFTER making all desired changes.
