The CICS® installation process does not alter if you have data conversion requirements.
However, to get the benefits of z/OS® conversion
services, if perhaps your system requires support for the conversion

Refer to the instructions in the z/OS Support for Unicode: Using Conversion Services manual SA22-7649 to find out the steps needed to set up and configure conversions supported though the operating system services.
To discover the status of z/OS conversion services after an IPL, use one of these commands from an MVS™ console:
