    CSSMTP's CHARSET and TRANSLATE parameters work with most code pages supported by z/OS Unicode Services, and 875 is in Unicode Service's supported code page list. If 875 does not work with those parameters, please open a case to discuss that with IBM support. If you have already opened a case (I couldn't find one), and IBM support directed you to open an Idea, then you can open a new Idea and include that case number with it.

    CSSMTP's CHARSET and TRANSLATE parameters work with most code pages supported by z/OS Unicode Services, and 875 is in Unicode Service's supported code page list. Have you tried setting 875 with the TRANSLATE statement and the CHARSET parameter? And if so, what error messages are you getting? Have you had a case open with IBM Support?
