Configuring the code-page Option
FICON strings are coded in Extended Binary-Coded Decimal Interchange Code (EBCDIC) format. Refer to
your mainframe documentation for details on the code page options.
Cisco MDS switches support international-5, france, brazil, germany, italy, japan, spain-latinamerica,
uk, and us-canada (default) EBCDIC format options.
This is an optional configuration. If you are not sure of the EBCDIC format to be used, we recommend
retaining the us-canada (default) option.
