DFS/SMB supported codepages

[Mikael Wargh]

Hello,
I'm setting up samba on distributed file system server on z/Os 1.6. Quite a
nice program though but I have some problems with codepages. Because we use
here in Finland three very strange characters 'öäå' and sometimes they
really are needed...it would be really nice to get them to work.
Now the a with points 'ä' is converted to hash mark 'ö' to somehting else
and 'å' to something else.
Going straight to the point: How I can customize the character maps /
codepages that I can use with dfs/smb? I tried to use codepage IBM-473 but
when starting dfs it said that it isn't supported. Now I use the default
codepage (line in dfskern envar: _IOE_WIRE_CODEPAGE=ISO8859-1)

Kind Regards,
Mikael Wargh

From RTFM it seems to me that the _IOE_WIRE_CODEPAGE tells the 
server which code page the data has on the non-z/OS side. 
The z/OS side is what the dfskern is running with. You need to 
tell dfskern what EBCDIC code page you want and you need to 
make sure this matches your terminal emulator's host code page.
dfskern probably gets its code page from current locale, which
you can change with the LC_ALL environment variable.
Hope this gives you a starting point.
