Coded Character Set Identifier (CCSID)
10
The HTML specification requires browsers to indicate the content types that
they can handle. The browser passes this information by including an ISO
(international standard organization) identifier in a MIME header. The
workstation gateway server converts this content type identifier into
coded-character set identifier (CCSID) information. The AS/400 system uses the
CCSID information to interpret the input data and to provide the output data in
the proper format for the browser to use for its display.The input can be ASCII
or EBCDIC.
If your Web browser has a MIME header, then the system uses the CCSID
value from the MIME header to perform ASCII-to-EBCDIC conversion.
The AS/400 system uses the value specified in this parameter in the following
cases:
vWhen your Web browser does not have a MIME header.
vWhen the MIME header values do not match any values in the CCSID table
on the AS/400 system.
The workstation gateway server ignores ISO-xxxx-xx-style MIME headers,
starting with the following PTFs:
vSF47241 WSG_41
vSF47242 WSG_32
vSF47243 WSG_37
vSF47244 WSG_42
The CCSID is the ASCII CCSID to which you must convert the EBCDIC data, if
possible.
Server Mapping Tables (TBLWSGOUT) and (TBLWSGIN)
11and 12
Youcan use outgoing and incoming mapping tables to manage character
conversion. Specify the tables that you want to use and the library in which the
tables reside.

Workstation Gateway Server Mapping Tables — Hint

Youcan use the same conversion tables for workstation gateway server that you
use for Telnetor another application. If you decide to do this, ensure that:
vThe outgoing table maps from the EBCDIC of the interactive job to any of your
ASCII tables.
vThe incoming mapping table maps from any ASCII table to the EBCDIC of the
interactive job.
For Korea, China, and Taiwan,the AS/400 system does not support MIME standard
code pages. This is because of missing MIME standards or CCSIDs for those
countries at this time. The system supports the CCSID parameter for each country,
as contained in Table 31 on page 329.
For detailed information about CCSIDs, see

SC41-5101, or

. Table31 on page 329
contains conversion information.
