IBM AS/400E CCSIDs Supported by the POP Server

For the United States, the character set is 697 and the code page is 37 (CCSID
37). This character set and code page combination can be converted into any other
code page that uses the same character set. The ISO language standard 8859-1
uses or defines the same characters as character set 697, so United States English
can be converted into ISO-8859-1 and back again without the loss of information. If
a character set for a country is the same as, or is a subset of the MIME-standard
character set, data can be converted to the MIME code page without the loss of
information.
For more information on national language support and what is supported by
OS/400, see National Language Support book.
CCSIDs Supported by the POP Server
The MIME coded character set identifier configuration parameter (MIMECCSID) on
the Change POP Attributes (CHGPOPA)command determines which CCSID to use
for translation, and under what conditions to use it. Once you specify a CCSID, you
can choose to use it all the time (*ALWAYS), or only if a better fit cannot be found
(*BESTFIT).
The CCSIDs supported for conversion are MIME- or Internet-defined standard
character sets:
