CCSID(*CHAR : *JOBRUN | *JOBRUNMIX | *UTF8 | *HEX | number)

CCSID(*CHAR) sets the default character CCSID used for alphanumeric data definitions in the module.

Start of change The default CCSID for alphanumeric definitions specified on definition statements be temporarily changed using the /SET and /RESTORE directives. See /SET. End of change

CCSID(*CHAR:*JOBRUN)
The job CCSID at runtime. If the job CCSID is 65535, the default job CCSID is used.

The character X'0E' will be assumed to be a shift-out character only if the runtime job CCSID is a mixed-byte CCSID.

See Character Format for more information.
CCSID(*CHAR:*JOBRUNMIX)
The mixed-byte CCSID related to the job CCSID at runtime. If the job CCSID is 65535, the mixed-byte CCSID related to the default job CCSID is used.

The character X'0E' will always be assumed to be a shift-out character.

CCSID(*CHAR:*UTF8)
UTF-8; the numeric value of this CCSID is 1208.
CCSID(*CHAR:*HEX)
By default, character data does not have a CCSID. Character variables that are defined without the CCSID keyword cannot be used in CCSID conversions.
CCSID(*CHAR:number)
number must be an alphanumeric CCSID. It can be any single-byte or mixed-byte EBCDIC CCSID, any single-byte or mixed-byte ASCII CCSID, or the UTF-8 CCSID 1208.
When CCSID(*CHAR) is not specified
