IANAMAP

Read syntax diagramSkip visual syntax diagramIANAMAP CCSID=ccsid , NAME=[name]

The IANAMAP statement specifies a relationship between a Coded Character Set Identifier (CCSID) and one or more corresponding IANA character set names.

This relationship needs to be specified because UCS can only recognize CCSIDs, whereas other conversion systems (Java™, for example) may only recognize IANA character set names. For changes to this setting to take effect, the CDC z/OS address space needs to be restarted, and after the restart any tables that are affected by the setting need to be re-described to the target.

The IANAMAP statement contains two keywords. A default set of CCSID to IANA name mapping is provided in the product. You can use the IANAMAP statements to add new mappings or modify existing ones as required.

You can specify as many IANAMAP statements as needed.

Example

The following example maps CCSID 16804 to IANA character set name x-IBM420S:

IANAMAP CCSID=16804,NAME=x-IBM420S
