Hmm... Could be that a .profile or something is resetting it?
Qshell should inherit those variables.

FYI, the CCSID value of the environment variable is 'store only'
sort of thing.
We were forced to do it by the IBM software police and almost
had to automatically convert the envvar values (since envvar
values can be used for ANY data, not just text, we patently refused).
No one uses the CCSID value in the envvar for anything as far as I know.

Hmmm....
Check /etc/profile
Check ~/.profile
Check any file referenced by the ENV environment variable set in any of the
above.
