User-defined character sets

You can change all attributes for user character sets. Table A-2 shows the SBCS settings of the parameters for SYGWMCXL:

**Table A-2: SYGWMCXL parameters for SBCS**
Parameter	Value
A2E	Optional ASCII-to-EBCDIC translate overrides
E2A	Optional EBCDIC-to-ASCII translate overrides
CHARSET	Name of the SBCS
CHARSETBYTES	S for SBCS
TYPE	Valid types: INITIAL ENTRY (default) FINAL

If there is no override entry for a predefined character set, a default entry is generated with the appropriate translation tables and other attributes for that character set. A total of 99 character sets, including custom-generated character set entries, is supported.

The minimum translate customization entries are:

SYGWMCXL TYPE=INITIAL
SYGWMCXL TYPE=FINAL

These entries generate all of the predefined SBCSs.
