Appendix H
ASCII-like Character Sets
Table H–1 indicates which character sets are ASCII-like. ASCII-like character sets are
those that are essentially identical to the ASCII/ISO character set in the range of values
from 0000 to 0177. Where ASCII-like character sets differ from ASCII/ISO in the 0000
through 0177 range, the difference must be minor. For example, a character set that
replaces the U.S. dollar sign with a British pound sign is ASCII-like because both are
currency symbols.
Table H–1. Character Set Types
Name Octal Code Character Set Description ASCII-like
Fieldata 000 Fieldata character set
ASCII_ISO 001 ASCII/ISO character set. The data is expected
to be in the United States variant of ISO 646.
Historically, however, this value has also been
used to indicate any quarter-word character
set (in contrast to sixth-word Fieldata).
ASCII_APL 002 ASCII/APL character set Yes
EBCDIC 003 Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange
Code (EBCDIC)
Binary 004 Raw binary
Untyped 005 Untyped data, or application-dependent data
Column_Binary 006 Column binary format character set
OIAP 007 Reserved for use by the operating system.
Customer_Reserved 010-015 Reserved for customer use. These characters
are assumed to be ASCII-like.
Hangul 016 Hangul character set
Hanzi 017 Hanzi character set
Kanji 020 JIS-16 18-bit kanji format character set
ISO_646_US 021 United States variant of ISO 646 Yes
ISO_646_Nor_Den 022 Norway/Denmark variant of ISO 646 Yes
ISO_646_France 023 French variant of ISO 646 Yes
ISO_646_Germany 024 German variant of ISO 646 Yes
ISO_646_UK 025 United Kingdom variant of ISO 646 Yes
