WRKSYSVAL and you'll find;
QCCSID      *SYSCTL  Coded character set identifier
QCHRID      *SYSCTL  Graphic character set and code page
QCHRIDCTL   *SYSCTL  Character identifier control

Which, of course, can be overridden at field level in any file.
or over ridden by the User Profile
or over ridden by the Device Description

And don't even mention CCSID 65535...

I haven't worked with international machines much ... can someone tell me
where the default language, code page, & CCSID information is stored on
the
system ... and how can it be displayed (if at all).

Also, if possible, could someone with a system in the UK, try the above
scenario?  I'd be interested to see what results you get.

Thanks!
