In the Description statement in the job script

(Optional) Click Character Set to change the language.
Teradata PT allows all character sets as long as they are supported by the Teradata Database. The default is the character set of the active platform; however, scripts and log output are in English only.
The default character sets for all Teradata PT jobs are:
-
ASCII for network-attached client systems
-
EBCDIC for mainframe-attached client systems
For information on extended character sets, see Teradata Parallel Transporter Reference (B035-2436) and International Character Set Support (B035-1125).
