According to the V7R4 Memo to Users, the CCSID default has been changed from 819 to 1208.

This question was asked in Nov 2019 and the response was

"Found the answer.. PASE_DEFAULT_UTF8 set to N and things will go back to normal."

We use the JAR command to .ZIP files and send to our customers. Should I be concerned about this change, if so what is a recommended approach to using the "PASE_DEFAULT_UTF=N" ?

TIA
Michael Smith
