Changing the CCSID at the User Profile level

To change the CCSID at the user profile level, your user ID must have QSECOFR authority.

1. Log in to the AS/400 from the main console, a 5250 terminal, or a 5250 emulator.

2. To display the Work with User Profile window, enter:

   WRKUSRPRF USER_ID
   

   where USER_ID is a valid user ID for the AS/400 with QSECOFR authority.

3. Select option 2.

4. Press F10 to view additional parameters. Page down until you find the CCSID setting.

5. Change the CCSID and press Enter.

Any physical file that is created with this user profile has the new CCSID assigned to the file character fields.
