Redefinition of MQCCSI_APPL

The following examples show how we can override the value of MQCCSI_APPL in various programming languages. We can change the value of MQCCSI_APPL, removing the need to set the VSCCSID for each variable length string separately.

In these examples the CCSID is set to 1208; change this to the value you require. This becomes the default value, which we can override by setting the VSCCSID in any specific instance of MQCHARV.
