Arabic
The Coded Character Set Identifiers (CCSIDs) for Arabic conversions are listed.
The following tables list
the CCSIDs supported for this conversion group and show the following
information:
- The value to be specified for the CLINTCP or SRVERCP keyword.
- The code page identifier or identifiers (CPGIDs).
- An IANA-registered character set name for the code page, where a suitable name exists and CICS® supports the use of this name on EXEC CICS commands. The CICS-supported name might be the primary name or a preferred alias. In some cases, more than one name or alias is supported.
In most cases, CICS Transaction Server for z/OS® can convert character data between ASCII and EBCDIC if both CCSIDs are in the same conversion group. However, some conversions within a conversion group are not supported. For example, when new CCSIDs are defined to extend the character set, conversions between new equivalent ASCII and EBCDIC CCSIDs are supported, but conversions that mix old and new ASCII and EBCDIC CCSIDs might not be supported. An example of this situation is a character set that is extended to include the euro.
Data conversion does not change the direction of Arabic data.
