5.4 International Considerations

The Identity Manager driver for ACF2 assumes the ACF2 system is using the EBCDIC Latin 1 (Open Systems) codepage for translating data to and from the Identity Manager Metadirectory engine. This codepage, IBM-1047, is configured in the SAMPLIB member ACF2DRV, the JCL for starting the ACF2 driver shim. If your system uses a codepage other than IBM-1047, you will need to change the JCL for starting the ACF2 driver to ensure correct character translation.

The following line, specified in the SAMPLIB(CEEOPT) member, illustrates how the environment is configured for the default codepage IBM-1047:

  ENVAR("LC_CTYPE=IBM-1047")

You may change this text to reflect the codepage of your ACF2 system. The format is IBM-CCSID, where CCSID is a coded character set identifier, represented in decimal.

For a list of valid codepage identifiers, see the IBM CCSID reference table. The following table lists a subset of sample values:
