CCSID control keyword

The CCSID keyword may be specified several times, but each time must have a different value for the first parameter.

CCSID(*EXACT) controls the general handling of CCSIDs within the module.

The default CCSID for definitions can be temporarily changed using the /SET and /RESTORE directives. See /SET.

CCSID(*CHAR), CCSID(*GRAPH), and CCSID(*UCS2). set the default CCSIDs for the module. These defaults are used for program-described input and output fields, and data definitions that do not have the CCSID keyword coded.

The CCSID keyword also affects the CCSID of literals and compile time data. See CCSID of literals and compile-time data for more information.
