Establishing a character set for a particular archive/recovery operation is supported. However, after the character set is established, do not attempt to change it while Teradata ARC is executing an operation. When a character set is established, that character set accepts only Teradata ARC statements input in that character set.
Establish a character set in one of the following ways:
If relying on the database DBC.Hosts table for the default character set name, ensure that the initial logon from the channel-attached side is in EBCDIC. Otherwise, Teradata ARC does not know the default character set before logon.

On z/OS, this JCL invokes ARCMAIN:
//ARCCPY EXEC PGM=ARCMAIN,PARM=’SESSIONS=8 CHARSETNAME=KATAKANAEBCDIC’
