RE: Changing default CCSID

["Shaw, David" <dshaw@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Bruce,

Changing the system value ensures that new files that are created which
default to the system value are properly "translatable" by tools that care
about CCSID, such as ODBC and Client Access file transfer.  I think changing
it is a good practice, and have done it on every system I've been
responsible for over the past five years or so.  It saves some hassles.
