The display character set is the character set SQL uses for determining the character set that text will automatically be translated to before display in interactive SQL or for text being returned by SQL to a user program. You can specify the display character set only for a session or a module by using the SET DISPLAY CHARACTER SET statement or the DISPLAY CHARACTER SET clause of the SQL module header, the DECLARE MODULE statement, or the DECLARE ALIAS statement. The choice of display character set is limited to those character sets that include ASCII characters. Identifier Character Set identifies the subset of character sets that you can use to specify the display character set.
