The cln_ccsid(n) and srv_ccsid(n) attributes can be specified either as installation defaults or at mount time for more granularity between different mount points. Unless srv_ccsid is specified either as an installation default or at mount time, newly created files will not have any file tag set (that is, the file tag is all zeros). These two attributes affect translation only when text processing is involved and only when an existing file has a nonzero or a nonbinary file tag.

Special attention must be paid to the different server attributes specified. See Table 1 and Table 1.
