Create DBCS Conversion Dict (CRTIGCDCT)

The Create DBCS Conversion Dictionary (CRTIGCDCT) command creates the specified double-byte character set (DBCS) conversion dictionary and stores that dictionary in the specified library. The dictionary contains alphanumeric entries and their related DBCS words. The system refers to DBCS conversion dictionaries when doing DBCS conversion.

Parameters

IGCDCT DBCS conversion dictionary Qualified object name Required, Positional 1
Qualifier 1: DBCS conversion dictionary Name

TEXT Text 'description' Character value, *BLANK Optional
AUT Authority Element list Optional
Element 1: Character value, *LIBCRTAUT, *CHANGE, *ALL, *USE, *EXCLUDE

DBCS conversion dictionary (IGCDCT)

Specifies the name of the double-byte character set (DBCS) conversion dictionary created and the library in which it is stored. If you do not specify a library name, the dictionary is stored in the current library for the job. If no library is specified as the current library for the job, QGPL is used.

This is a required parameter.

Note: A user-created DBCS conversion dictionary can have any name, but is used for performing DBCS conversion only if it is named QUSRIGCDCT.

Text 'description' (TEXT)

Specifies the text that briefly describes the object.

*BLANK
No text is specified.
'description'
Specify no more than 50 characters of text, enclosed in apostrophes.

Authority (AUT)

Specifies the authority you are giving to users who do not have specific authority for the object, who are not on an authorization list, and whose group profile or supplemental group profiles do not have specific authority for the object.

*LIBCRTAUT
The system determines the authority for the object by using the value specified for the Create authority (CRTAUT) parameter on the Create Library command (CRTLIB) for the library containing the object to be created. If the value specified for the Create authority (CRTAUT) parameter is changed, the new value will not affect any existing objects.
*CHANGE
The user can perform all operations on the object except those limited to the owner or controlled by object existence (*OBJEXIST) and object management (*OBJMGT) authorities. The user can change and perform basic functions on the object. *CHANGE authority provides object operational (*OBJOPR) authority and all data authority. If the object is an authorization list, the user cannot add, change, or remove users.
*ALL
The user can perform all operations except those limited to the owner or controlled by authorization list management (*AUTLMGT) authority. The user can control the object's existence, specify the security for the object, change the object, and perform basic functions on the object. The user also can change ownership of the object.
*USE
The user can perform basic operations on the object, such as running a program or reading a file. The user cannot change the object. Use (*USE) authority provides object operational (*OBJOPR), read (*READ), and execute (*EXECUTE) authorities.
*EXCLUDE
The user cannot access the object.
authorization-list-name
Specify the name of an authorization list. Users included on the authorization list are granted authority to the object as specified by the list. The authorization list must exist when the object is created.

Examples
