Creating a DBCS conversion dictionary

 

To create a DBCS conversion dictionary, follow these steps.

1. Use the Create DBCS Conversion Dictionary (CRTIGCDCT) command.

2. Name the dictionary, QUSRIGCDCT, so it can be used during DBCS conversion. The system uses the dictionary if it is the first user-created dictionary found when searching a user's library list.

   You might call the dictionary by another name while it is being created to prevent application programs from using it for conversion. Later, change the dictionary name using the Rename Object (RNMOBJ) command. For example, to create a user DBCS conversion dictionary to be stored in the library DBCSLIB, enter:

   CRTIGCDCT IGCDCT(DBCSLIB/QUSRIGCDCT)

3. Use the EDTIGCDCT command to put entries and related words into the dictionary after creating it. See Editing a DBCS conversion dictionary for instructions on putting entries in the dictionary.
