  ****************************************************************
  GDDM will not allow the setting of APPCPG to 420 as it does not
  support the Arabic code page 420. For Arabic, GDDM recommends
  modifying ADMDATRN and leaving APPCPG set to 351.  During QMF
  initialization, QMF will compare the value of the GDDM APPCPG
  value to the DB2 for z/OS CURRENT APPLICATION ENCODING SCHEME
  special register and then the SYSIBM.SYSTEM_EBCDIC_CCSID session
  variable prior to issuing the DSQ10344 informational message. In
  the case of Arabic, the GDDM APPCPG value will never match the
  DB2 for z/OS CCSID information, so the DSQ10344 will always be
  issued. There is no way the user can eliminate the QMF message.
  

Problem conclusion

• Module DSQIDOPT has been modified to not issue DSQ10344 if the
  DB2 for z/OS CCSID is set to 420.
