Initialize IBM i Access (INZPCS)

The Initialize IBM i Access (INZPCS) command allows you to establish an operating environment for IBM i Access applications by creating various control documents on the IBM i Access folders. These control documents include code page mapping tables, keyboard tables, and font files used for displaying information on the personal computer display.

Note: Do not precede an entry with an asterisk unless that entry is a "special value" that is shown (on the display itself or in the help information) with an asterisk.

ASCII code page number (ASCII)

Specifies the ASCII code page number to use.

Note: When you are running the INZPCS command for a double byte language, use the single byte code page for this language. INZPCS only needs to process single byte code pages. Double byte code page support is available without the use of INZPCS.

The possible values are:

*DFT
The default code page number is used. When the command is run initially, the default value is 437 for keyboard types USB and USI, and 850 for most others. When the command is run after the initial time, the default takes the value specified at the previous running of the command.
code-page-number
Specify the ASCII code page number to use.

EBCDIC code page number (EBCDIC)

Specifies the EBCDIC (or host) code page number to use.

Note: When you are running the INZPCS command for a double byte language, use the single byte code page for this language. INZPCS only needs to process single byte code pages. Double byte code page support is available without the use of INZPCS.

*DFT
The default system code page number is used. When the command is run initially, the default value comes from the code page portion of the system value QCHRID. When the command is run after the initial time, the default takes the value specified at the previous running of the command.
code-page-number
Specify the EBCDIC (or host) page number to use.

Language feature code (LANGUAGE)

Specifies the language feature identifier (ID) of the secondary language to be processed.

The possible values are:

*DFT
The primary language of IBM i Access should be processed.
language-feature-code
Specify the language feature code of the language to process. Values are listed in the Language Feature Identifier Table.
