CCSID(*UCS2) sets the default UCS-2 CCSID used for data definitions that do not have the CCSID keyword coded.
The default CCSID for definitions can be temporarily
changed using the /SET and /RESTORE directives.
See /SET.
UCS-2 subfields in externally-described data structures always have the same CCSID as the field in the external file.
When CCSID(*UCS2) is not specified, the default UCS-2 CCSID is 13488.
See CCSID of literals and compile-time data for information on the CCSID of UCS-2 literals.
