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.
Tip 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.
