Specifies the character identifier for the printer file. When a
printer 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 printer file input, and from the CCSID
of the job to the device CHRID on printer file output.
- *CMDDFT
- The system default is used.
