Code pages
This table provides the following information about each code page: canonical name, description and CCSID.
A canonical name is converted to the corresponding CCSID so that a CICS® server can determine the code page location for a data stream. The CICS server must support EPI Version 2 for the encodings to be implemented. To find out which CCSIDs your CICS server supports check your CICS Server documentation.
