Valid values

The range of valid values for the RS_ccsid parameter is between 0 and 64534 inclusive. A value in this range starting with the prefix cp or CP is also valid. For example, the user may enter 1258 or CP1258 to indicate the code page value for Vietnamese.

Replication Agent version 12.6 and later supports all valid DB2 CCSIDs, including ASCII and double-byte CCSIDs.

To determine the appropriate value for the RS_ccsid parameter, see the table provided in the CODEPAGE member of the hlq.DOCS library. Here is an excerpt of the CODEPAGE member:

|-------------------------------------------------------|
| This table lists the values to use for the Rep Agent  |
| Codepage= and RS-ccsid= parameters.  The 'DB2 CCSID'  |
| column lists the settings used on the DB2 installation|
| panel 'DSNTIPF'.  This is usually the same as the     |
| CCSID for the user database in which the primary table|
| was created.  The Rep Server/ASE column lists         |
| character set values.  The RS_ccsid value should      |
| reflect the setting of Replication Server's RS_charset|
| configuration parameter.                              |

This table matches DB2 CCSIDs with their appropriate Replication Agent Codepage and RS_ccsid configuration parameter values.
