The client code page

This section describes the client code pages supported for the ECI, EPI, and Client terminal emulator.

The ECI

The client code pages supported for the ECI are the same as those supported by CICS® on System/390® for distributed program link (DPL) requests. They are listed in CICS-supported conversions.

Start of changeThe client code page is specified by the Client. For example, for the Universal Client for Windows the client code page is specified by running the Client configuration tool and doing one of the following:

End of change

Start of changeIf the CICS Universal Client finds that the CCSID parameter in the ctg.ini file has a value, it sends that value to the server as the client CCSID. Otherwise, it issues either a GetACP function call to obtain the ANSI code page or a GetOEMCP call to obtain the OEM code page, and sends that code page to the server.End of change

The client code page can be redefined by a CHCP command.

The EPI and terminal emulator

The client code pages supported for the EPI and the terminal emulator function are shown in Table 44.

The client code page is specified by the Client, as described for the ECI.

For the EPI and terminal emulator, if the client code page is invalid, CICS uses code page 850.
