Purpose
Establishes characteristics of a user-defined character set that is available on the database.
Syntax
- name
- Name of the user-defined character set on the database.
- ddn
- z/OS or VOS3 JCL DD statement name in the TDP JCL that is associated with a file that contains the character set attributes.
Usage Notes
This command does not create a new user-defined character set on the database, it only provides characteristics of such a user-defined character set that are needed by TDP.
The existence of the character set on the database is not validated during execution of the command. Such errors are reported if an attempt is made to use the character set.
Character sets supplied by the database cannot be altered using this command. If the specified character set name is that of a character set supplied by the database, no error will be generated but the definition will never be used; the standard definition will be used.
If the character set name had been previously defined, that definition is replaced.
The DISPLAY USERCS command can be used to display the user-defined character sets that have been defined to TDP.
For more information on character sets, see Defining a Character Set.
Example: SET USERCS
SET USERCS KOREAN_EBCDIC933 DDNAME TDPCS
