To install CCSID tables for HCOPG

At a command prompt or using File Explorer (Windows) or the File utility (UNIX), change to the $COBDIR/etc/hcopg directory.

Create a new subdirectory named COBCCSIDDIR.

Extract the contents of the pgmappings.zip file, located in the current directory, to the new COBCCSIDDIR subdirectory.

This creates the following three subdirectories under COBCCSIDDIR: IBM-5348 (Windows), IBM-819 (Linux non-EURO), and IBM-923 (Linux EURO). These subdirectories contain tables that map natural SBCS code pages to UNICODE for the NULL byte.

Create a new system environment variable, COBCCSIDDIR, and set its value to $COBDIR/etc/hcopg/COBCCSIDDIR.

This enables your system to find the tables.
