Specifies the code set the client application uses when sending information to the DB2 access service. For an explanation of the relationship with DefaultTargetCodeset and UseClientCharset, see “Code set translation”.
DefaultClientCodeset=[clientcodeset | OpenServerDefault]
1–255 characters
OpenServerDefault
To operate correctly, the DB2 access service requires a DefaultClientCodeset value that accurately reflects the code set of the client application.
Enter one of these values for DefaultClientCodeset:
The client application code set identifier.
The default setting, OpenServerDefault, becomes the value assigned by platform in the DirectConnect server’s locales.dat file.
For information regarding the relationship of DefaultClientCodeset, DefaultTargetCodeset, and UseClientCharset, refer to the section “Code set translation”.
When data passes from the client application to the target database, the DB2 access service converts the data from DefaultClientCodeset to DefaultTargetCodeset if the two property values are unequal.
The DB2 access service obtains the client application language from one of these sources:
The login record
The server DefaultServerLanguage configuration property value
For information about the DefaultServerLanguage property, which defines the language in which the client messages that originate in the DirectConnect server are returned, see the Enterprise Connect Data Access and Mainframe Connect Server Administration Guide.
