What's the default ENCODING for SLC on Mainframe?

Our default encoding for SLC on z/OS is open-edition 1047 (which differs from EBCDIC-1047 in that characters x15 and x25 are transposed) but you can set it to use EBCDIC-1141 in the SLC CONFIG.

    You can change the encoding in the CONFIG member of CNTL data set.

    This member looks like this:

    • WPS SYSTEM CONFIG FILE CONTAINING SYSTEM OPTIONS
      BLKSIZE=27998
      BYLINE
      CENTER
      NOCHARCODE
      DATE
      DB2SSID=DB2
      DKRICOND=ERROR
      DKROCOND=WARN
      DSNFERR
      ENGINE=WPD
      NOERRORABEND
      FILEUNIT=CYL
      FILESPPRI=1
      FILESPSEC=1

    Alternative encoding can be set like this:

    ENCODING=EBCDIC1141
