Users can set up their USS shell environments to use a code page other than the default IBM-1047 code page. Tectia Server for IBM z/OS supports conversion of the terminal data stream to several code pages. There are two ways to specify the code page: the chcp command and server configuration.

Tectia Server also supports conversion of the line delimiter through server configuration. However, many SSH clients do line delimiter conversion or use LF, which is the Tectia default line delimiter.

The code page of the data on the line can also be specified. It must be the code page that the Secure Shell client uses or is configured to use. ISO8859-1 is the default code page.
