Appendix A: Customization Options

Using the IBM z/OS conversion environment and services

Unicode support in the Client Option and Server Option is based on Unicode support provided by IBM z/OS, including the conversion environment and conversion services. With the conversion environment and services installed and set up, the Client Option and Server Option can convert character streams from one Coded Character Set Identifier (CCSID) to another. This functionality is provided in addition to the support for language and character sets offered in previous versions.

To install IBM Unicode support, use the following procedure.

StepsInstalling IBM Unicode support

  1. Create an IMAGE member in SYS1.PARMLIB using the CUNMIUTL utility.

  2. Copy the CUNIMG01 member from WORK.IMAGE to SYS1.PARMLIB. The CUNIMG01 member is loaded into z/OS using the following command:

    SET UNI=01
    

    The following command displays the current active image and the character set conversions defined for that image:

    DISPLAY UNI, ALL
    

To enable Unicode support for the Client Option and Server Option, set the USEIBMUNICODE configuration parameter to Y. The USEIBMUNICODE parameter is specified in the SYGWMCST macro in the SYGWXCPH customization module. For more information on installing Unicode support for IBM z/OS, see "Support for Unicode Using Conversion Services" (SA22-7649-01).
