AUTOCVT

Use the AUTOCVT statement in BPXPRMxx to enable Enhanced ASCII or Unicode Services. When AUTOCVT is set, every read and write operation for a file is checked to see whether any conversion is necessary.

Tip: Use AUTOCVT(OFF). If you want to use another method to enable Enhanced ASCII, see Converting files between code pages.

You can also use AUTOCVT(ALL) to enable Unicode Services support. When AUTOCVT(ALL) is set, every read and write operation for a file is checked to see whether conversion is necessary.
