   The Character Sets tab opens, displaying a list of character sets already in the catalog.

2. Click Modify FD character sets.

   The Modify FD character sets section is displayed.

3. In the list of current character sets, select the character set to change from.

   A list of files currently using that character set are listed.

4. In the list of current character sets, select the character set to change to.

   By default, in the File Definition list, all files are selected to replace the old character set with the new one.

5. In the Native and Source columns, clear the selections that you do not want to change, then click Replace.
6. Click Save.

   The changes are saved.

7. Close the Character Sets tab.
