Japanese Katakana SBCS

Details of CCSIDs and CCSID conversion for Japanese Katakana SBCS.

Table 1. Native CCSIDs for Japanese Katakana SBCS on supported platforms
Platform Native CCSIDs
IBM® i

z/OS®

 290
HP-UX 897
AIX 932, 5050, 33722 (see Note 1)
Windows 932, 943 (see Note 2 )
HP Integrity NonStop Server

Linux

Solaris

 943, 5050
Note:
  1. 5050 and 33722 are CCSIDs related to base code page 954 on AIX. The CCSID reported by the operating system is 33722.
  2. Windows NT uses code page 932 but this is best represented by the CCSID of 943. However, not all platforms of IBM MQ support this CCSID.

    On IBM MQ for Windows CCSID 932 is used to represent code page 932, but a change to file ../conv/table/ccsid.tbl can be made which changes the CCSID used to 943.

  3. In addition to the previous conversions, the IBM MQ products on AIX, HP-UX, Solaris, Linux and Tru64 support conversion from CCSID 897 to CCSIDs 37, 273, 277, 278, 280, 284, 285, 290, 297, 437, 500, 819, 850, 1027, and 1252.

All platforms support conversion between their native CCSIDs and the native CCSIDs of other platforms, with the following exceptions.
