Specifies the EBCDIC character set. The syntax is:
EBCDIC_CODEPAGE = n
where n is the code page number.
By default, Export assumes character data is stored in a DSNTIAUL source tables using the American ASCII character set and converts it to the American EBCDIC character set inserting it into an XDB Server table.
You can have the Export utility translate character data containing characters from any international ASCII character set to any international EBCDIC character set using the code page feature in Export. For the EBCDIC code page number, use the default EBCDIC character set for your country. ASCII to EBCDIC translation is performed using the translation table that corresponds to the specific ASCII and EBCDIC code pages. This translation table is in the TRANSTAB field of the SYSIBM.SYSSTRINGS table in the SYSTEM. See the section titled "Code Page Support" for the structure of the SYSIBM.SYSSTRINGS table.
When the Export utility uses code page options, the values entered for ASCII_CODEPAGE and EBCDIC_CODEPAGE are compared with values for INCCSID and OUTCCSID, respectively, in the system table SYSIBM.SYSSTRINGS. The matching record in the table contains the translation table used to convert XDB Server data in ASCII format to DSNTIAUL data in EBCDIC format.
