Specifies the character identifier for the file. When a file that
was created with the CHRID DDS keyword is used with a work station device, the
system translates data sent to and received from the device (as necessary) to
ensure that the correct characters are shown, and to ensure that the correct
hexadecimal byte values are returned to the application program.
The possible values are:
- *DEVD
- The value specified on the CHRID parameter in the device description of
the work station on which the application is running, is used. If no
CHRID value is specified, the QCHRID system value for the system on which the
application is running, is used. No conversion is necessary because the
file has the same character identifier as the work station.
- *SYSVAL
- The CHRID value specified for the system on which the application is being
run is used. Translation may be necessary depending on the character
identifier of the work station.
- *JOBCCSID
- The character data is changed from the device CHRID to the CCSID (coded
character set identifier) of the job on display file input, and from the CCSID
of the job to the device CHRID on display file output.
- graphic character set code page
- Specify the graphic character set and code page values that match the
attributes of the work station device. Valid values range from 1
through 32767.
- *USRDEF
- Specify the value for the CHRID.
- *CMDDFT
- The system default is used.
