Character conversions for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean character sets in the z/OS conversion image

If you use Chinese, Japanese, or Korean character sets, you need to specify several conversions for z/OS Unicode Services in addition to the basic conversions.

To define these conversions add the additional conversion statements to high-level-qualifier.SCUNJCL(CUNJIUTL). These conversions are then added to the z/OS conversion image. Any duplicate statements are ignored.

In these CONVERSION statements, the variables have the following meanings:

your sccsid
The EBCDIC SBCS CCSID that is specified in your dsnhdecp module.
your mccsid
The EBCDIC MBCS CCSID that is specified in your dsnhdecp module.
your gccsid
The EBCDIC DBCS CCSID that is specified in your dsnhdecp module.
your asccsid
The ASCII SBCS CCSID that is specified in your dsnhdecp module.
your amccsid
The ASCII MBCS CCSID that is specified in your dsnhdecp module.
your agccsid
The ASCII DBCS CCSID that is specified in your dsnhdecp module.

dsnhdecp is the user-specified application defaults module.
