About Setting the CCSID

Configure the CCSIDs on the DB2 installation panel, DSNTIPF. The APPLICATION ENCODING field allows you to specify the default application encoding scheme. The value of the DEF ENCODING SCHEME field on the same panel determines whether the default format in which data is stored on DB2 is ASCII, EBCDIC, or Unicode.

Note: Set the value of the MIXED DATA field on the DSNTIPF panel to NO for all supported languages except Japanese.

Note: The EBCDIC CCSID of the DB2 subsystem containing the Siebel schema must be identical to the z/OS system CCSID. Otherwise data corruption may occur during various data loading processes.
