“<strong>System</strong> date (QDATE) system value” on page 17<br />

The system date (QDATE) system value indicates the year, the month, and the day on the system.<br />

“Year (QYEAR) system value” on page 26<br />

The year (QYEAR) system value specifies the last 2 digits of the year on the system.<br />

Character identifier (QCHRID) system value:<br />

The character identifier (QCHRID) system value specifies the character set and code page<br />

CHRID(*SYSVAL) for the CL commands that create, change, or override display files, display device<br />

descriptions, user interface (UIM) menus, panel groups, and printer files.<br />

You can change this value if the system QCCSID system value is set to CCSID 65535. You can also change<br />

the QCHRID value if the code page portion of the new QCHRID value is the same as the code page<br />

portion of the QCCSID value.<br />

“Object-level coded character set identifier 65535” on page 139<br />

CCSID 65535 is the default object-level CCSID for message files and message queues.<br />

Character identifier control (QCHRIDCTL) system value:<br />

The character identifier control (QCHRIDCTL) system value controls the type of CCSID conversion that<br />

occurs for display files, printer files, and panel groups.<br />

You must specify the *CHRIDCTL special value on the CHRID parameter of the create, change, or<br />

override command for display files, printer files, and panel groups before this attribute can be used.<br />

Possible values are:<br />

*DEVD<br />

The support provided by the *DEVD special value on the CHRID parameter for display files,<br />

printer files, and panel groups.<br />

*JOBCCSID<br />

The support provided by the *JOBCCSID special value on the CHRID parameter for display file,<br />

printer files, and panel groups.<br />

“Display files” on page 134<br />

When a display file object is created, it is tagged with the coded character set identifier (CCSID) of the<br />

source file.<br />

Coded character set identifier (QCCSID) system value:<br />

The coded character set identifier (QCCSID) system value specifies the CCSID for the <strong>i5</strong>/<strong>OS</strong> operating<br />

system.<br />

As shipped, the CCSID is set to CCSID 65535. CCSID 65535 means that all character data tagging support<br />

on the system is turned off, which is not generally recommended.<br />

If you use Java or WebSphere ® , or if you plan to transfer data between the <strong>i5</strong>/<strong>OS</strong> operating system and<br />

another client, then this value (or the corresponding value on the user profile) should be set to match the<br />

CCSID of your data. If the value is 65 535, then the encoding of the data on the system is unknown.<br />

If you leave this value at 65535, then you cannot get the results you expect when working from a client<br />

on the <strong>i5</strong>/<strong>OS</strong> operating system, or the connection might not work at all.<br />
