This activity returns the IBM i CCSID for the specified file. The activity is only supported on IBM i servers.
A CCSID is a coded character set identifier that identifies a specific encoding of a specific code page on IBM i servers and other IBM platforms and software. It is crucial that a file containing textual data has the correct CCSID that represents its encoding of that data – otherwise programs cannot successfully interpret the file. For more information on CCSIDs, refer to relevant IBM documentation.
This parameter should contain the full name and path of the file whose CCSID is to be queried.
