What can I do with this system value?

You can specify the default graphic character set and code page. This system value specifies the character set and code page used when CHRID(*SYSVAL) is specified for the CL commands that create, change, or override display files, display device descriptions, and printer files.

This system value might be changed automatically when the Coded character set ID (QCCSID) system value is changed. It is suggested that you change the Coded character set ID system value instead of this system value.
