Table 2-17. CODE DEFAULT parameter options and definitions

	Option	Definition
	codetype	Can be one the following:
		•	ASCII
		•	BCD
		•	EBCDIC
		•	PEBCDIC
		•	H2BCD
		•	H6BCD
		•	IBMBCD
	value	A one byte hexadecimal, octal, or alpha constant. If a value is specified, all
		inputs are coded to that value.
	Default		Codetype: EBCDIC
CODE DEFAULT			• The DEFAULT parameter must be coded before any ASSIGN
parameter: points			parameter for the assignment exceptions to become active. A
	to note		DEFAULT parameter following any defined ASSIGN
			parameters causes those ASSIGN parameters to be ignored.
			• Multiple user defined character code translation tables are
			allowed, but only one may be without a command identifier.
			– The corresponding CODE and LCODE parameters of the
			VOLUME command are used to reference each user-
			created code table by a command identifier.
			– The USER option of the CODE and LCODE parameters
			of the VOLUME command references a user defined code
			translation table in which no command identifier is coded.
CODE DEFAULT Following are two examples illustrating the use of the CODE
parameter			DEFAULT parameter.
	examples

Example 1 Assume that your input data is recorded in EBCDIC. On output, however, codes 5A, 5B and 5C (characters !, $, *, respectively), are assigned to the character blank (X'20'). The command to modify the EBCDIC base table is as follows:

CODE	DEFAULT=EBCDIC, ASSIGN=(X'5A', X'20'),
	ASSIGN=(X'5B', X'20'),
	ASSIGN=(X'5C',X'20');
