*CVT
CCSID conversion is done when the job CCSID is not 65535. No CCSID conversion is done when the job CCSID is 65535.
*NOCVT
No CCSID conversion is done.
When the DATA keyword is not specified

The DATA keyword affects how database handles CCSID conversion between the physical data and the buffers. For information on how explicitly or implicitly specifying the DATA keyword affects the handling of data between the buffers and program fields, see CCSID conversions during input and output operations.
