The SESSION CHARSET command specifies which character set is in effect during a specific BTEQ invocation. For example, KANJIEUC_0U and KANJISJIS_0S are two of many possible choices of the SESSION CHARSET command for workstation platforms. If the character set is not specified, the default is ASCII.
