To install CCSID tables

Attention: This feature is in Early Adopter Product (EAP) release status. We intend to provide the finalized feature in a future release. Please contact Micro Focus SupportLine if you require further clarification.

The CICS Web Services feature is EAP for development and testing usage. It should not be used for production deployment in this product release

Note: To complete this task, you must have administrator privileges to the Enterprise Developer installation directory.
  1. In a Web browser, download the IBM CCSID tables (in cdctables.zip) from cdctables.zip to your %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Micro Focus\Enterprise Developer\etc\ccsid (Windows) or $COBDIR/etc/ccsid (UNIX) subdirectory.
  2. Use the tabindex.txt file located in the cdctables.zip file to identify the package number and filename for each CCSID table you need to install.
    Note: CICS Web services support EBCDIC CCSID tables only. If your application is in ASCII and you want to convert EBCDIC tables to ASCII at runtime, see To convert an EBCDIC CCSID to ASCII.
  3. For each table you want to install, as a subdirectory to the ccsid directory, create a directory of the same name as the CCSID table filename as specified in the tabindex.txt file.
  4. For each CCSID that you want to install, open its corresponding Packagen.zip file (as specified in tabindex.txt) and extract the files from the appropriate CCSID .zip file to the corresponding directory you created in step 3.

    For example, to install a CCSID table to convert Spanish to USA English, create a subdirectory under ccsid named 011C01B5. Then extract the contents of package4.zip\011C01B5.zip (Windows) or package4.zip/011C01B5 (UNIX) to the 011C01B5 subdirectory.
