LOCALCCSID

The LOCALCCSID system initialization parameter specifies the default CCSID for the local region.

The LOCALCCSID parameter is used to set the default encoding for some CICS® API commands. API commands that use the LOCALCCSID are documented as such, but most APIs (for example, the CONTAINER GET and PUT commands) do not use this parameter.

LOCALCCSID={037|CCSID}
The CCSID is a value of up to 8 characters. If CCSID value is not specified, the default LOCALCCSID is set to 037. For lists of valid CCSIDs, see:
