Appendix C. CCSID Repository
The on-line CCSID Repository contains the information on all of the CCSIDs currently registered by IBM.
This appendix contains supporting information for the CCSID Repository. Each CCSID record contains the following fields:
| Field | Explanation |
|---|---|
| CCSID |
The value of the coded character set identifier (CCSID) assigned by CDRA. Both decimal and hexadecimal forms are shown. Note: Wherever feasible, CCSID is assigned the same value as its CPGID element, to facilitate coexistence and migration; however, the one-to-one relationship between the two values cannot be maintained in all situations. |
| Registration Date | This field contains the date on which the CCSID became officially registered. Note that this value is not available for some CCSIDs as originally registration dates were not recorded. |
| ES | The value of the encoding scheme identifier (ES), in hexadecimal form. The number of other identifiers associated with ES depends on this value. |
