z/OS MVS JCL Reference
SA23-1385-00

character-set-code
Identifies a universal character set. The character-set-code is 1 through 4 alphanumeric or national ($, #, @) characters. See Table 1 for IBM® standard special character set codes.
FOLD
Requests that the chain or train for the universal character set be loaded in fold mode. Fold mode is described in 2821 Component Description. Fold mode is most often used when upper- and lower-case data is to be printed only in uppercase.
Note: JES2 and JES3 do not support the FOLD subparameter. For JES2, the FOLD option is specified in the UCS image for JES2-controlled printers. See z/OS DFSMSdfp Advanced Services.
VERIFY
Requests that, before the data set is printed, the operator verify visually that the character set image is for the correct chain or train. The character set image is displayed on the printer before the data set is printed.
Table 1. Special Character Sets for the 1403, 3203 Model 5, and 3211 Printers
1403 3203 Model 5 3211 Characteristics
AN AN A11 Arrangement A, standard EBCDIC character set, 48 characters
HN HN H11 Arrangement H, EBCDIC character set for FORTRAN and COBOL, 48 characters
    G11 ASCII character set
PCAN PCAN   Preferred alphanumeric character set, arrangement A
PCHN PCHN   Preferred alphanumeric character set, arrangement H
PN PN P11 PL/I alphanumeric character set
QN QN   PL/I preferred alphanumeric character set for scientific applications
QNC QNC   PL/1 preferred alphanumeric character set for commercial applications
RN RN   Preferred character set for commercial applications of FORTRAN and COBOL
SN SN   Preferred character set for text printing
TN TN T11 Character set for text printing, 120 characters
XN     High-speed alphanumeric character set for 1403, Model 2
YN     High-speed preferred alphanumeric character set for 1403, Model N1
Note: Where three values exist (for the 1403, 3211, and 3203 Model 5 printers), code any one of them. JES selects the set corresponding to the device on which the data set is printed. Not all of these character sets may be available at your installation. Also, an installation can design character sets to meet special needs and assign a unique code to them. Follow installation procedures for using character sets.
