As I understand it - and Bruce Vining can say more and correct me - if
you have text in PFs and MSGFs and it's flagged with a CCSID, the system

national language processing.

That's pretty much right on the mark.

Although I've (recently) encountered a situation where that didn't work the way I expected to (I changed the job CCSID during execution, and the database read didn't work correctly).
