Conversion CCSIDs for CICS TS

The code page conversion groups for the supported Coded Character Set Identifiers (CCSIDs) are listed. CCSIDs are provided for code page conversion for use with the DFHCCNV conversion program.

For unsupported CCSIDs, you can create your own conversion tables for use with the DFHCCNV conversion program. See User-defined conversion tables.

For nonstandard conversions, you must supply your own conversion program. See User/CICS conversion.

Usually, 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.

CICS Transaction Server for z/OS provides limited support for Unicode-encoded character data. If no conversion is required, workstations can share UCS-2 or UTF-8 encoded data with CICS Transaction Server for z/OS. If you use channels to communicate your data, more extensive support for conversion to and from Unicode data is available in CICS. For more information, see Transferring data between programs using channels.

The tables in the following sections list the server and client Coded Character Set Identifiers (CCSIDs) that are supported for each conversion group. For each CCSID, the tables show:
  • The value to be specified for the CLINTCP or SRVERCP keyword.
  • The code page Global 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. Sometimes , more than one name or alias is supported.

Latin-1 and Latin-9 conversion CCSIDs

Note: Currency symbol conversions are supported between non euro-supported CCSIDs and euro-supported CCSIDs. However, use these conversions with care for the following reasons:
  • The international currency symbol in each non euro-supported EBCDIC CCSID (for example, 00500) has been replaced by the euro symbol in the equivalent euro-supported EBCDIC CCSID (for example, 01148).
  • The dotless i in non euro-supported ASCII CCSID 00850 has been replaced by the euro symbol in the equivalent euro-supported ASCII CCSID 00858.
