The century (QCENTURY) system value specifies the century. It is used with the system values QDATE<br />

and QYEAR to determine the specific date currently used by the system.<br />

“<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 />

Device descriptions<br />

These control language (CL) command parameters can be used to change cultural and linguistic<br />

conventions for some display and printer devices.<br />

Note: Some printer device descriptions do not allow you to specify a CHRID.<br />

v Character identifier (CHRID) parameter. You can change the character identifier when you create or<br />

change device descriptions for printers and displays. Change the character identifier for a printer or<br />

display device using one of the following commands:<br />

– The Create Device Description (Display) (CRTDEVDSP)<br />

– The Change Device Description (Display) (CHGDEVDSP)<br />

– The Create Device Description (Printer) (CRTDEVPRT)<br />

– The Change Device Description (Printer) (CHGDEVPRT)<br />

v Keyboard type (KBDTYPE) parameter. You can set the keyboard language type for a keyboard when<br />

you create a device description. Set the keyboard language type using the CHGDEVDSP command.<br />

v Workstation customization (WSCST) parameter. You can set the workstation customization parameter<br />

when creating a device to specify the use of a customized keyboard layout. To set this parameter, the<br />

display device must be varied off. You can specify the WSCST parameter when using the CRTDEVDSP<br />

command.<br />

v Language type (LNGTYPE) parameter. When you create an ASCII printer using the CRTDEVPRT<br />

command, the LNGTYPE parameter describes the default country or region keyboard language<br />

identifier for the printer. When you specify the *SYSVAL value, the QKBDTYPE system value is used.<br />

These keywords and command parameters can be used to change cultural and linguistic values for<br />

display files and printer files.<br />

v The Create Display File (CRTDSPF), Change Display File (CHGDSPF), Create Printer File (CRTPRTF),<br />

Change Printer File (CHGPRTF), and Override Printer File (OVRPRTF) commands. You can specify a<br />

character identifier explicitly:<br />

– As the QCHRID system value (*SYSVAL)<br />

– As a device description or a device default of the output device (*DEVD)<br />

– With the *JOBCCSID value<br />
