What can I do with this system value?
You can specify the name of the DBCS coded font to use when the system transforms SNA character string (SCS) data into an Advanced Function Printing data stream (AFPDS) spooled file with shift in/shift out (SI/SO) characters present in the data. A coded font associates multiple pairs of code pages and font character sets.
This system value has the following options:
- None (*NONE)
- No coded font is identified to the system.
- coded-font-name
- The name of the DBCS coded font. The coded font name can be no more than 8 characters long.
The IGC coded font must exist in the system disk pool (also known as auxiliary storage pool) or in a basic user disk pool.
