clientCodeSet

When you generate a COBOL program, the clientCodeSet build descriptor option specifies the name of the coded character set that is in effect on the workstation. This option, along with the serverCodeSet build descriptor option, causes a particular data conversion to occur when file content, file-path information, and environment variables are transferred from the workstation to a z/OS® or an iSeries® build server.

The coded character set specified for clientCodeSet must be the one defined to the ICONV conversion service on the system where the build server is started. The default is IBM-850, which is a standard character set for Latin-1 countries. For details, see Data conversion.
