Usage Notes
The Character Set Pointer field specifies the address of a one-byte character set code or a thirty-byte character set name. It also specifies the character set to be used on this and subsequent requests and responses.
The following character sets that are supplied by the server are known to CLIv2:
EBCDIC EBCDIC037_0E KANJIEBCDIC5026_0I KANJIEBCDIC5035_0I KATAKANAEBCDIC ASCII LATIN1_0A LATIN9_0A UTF16 UTF8 KANJIEUC_0U KANJISJIS_0S
In the clispb.dat file, Character Set Pointer is called charset_id. The field contains either the character set code or the character set name.
