How to create an IFS file with a specific ccsid?

I am trying to create a file in IFS (Integrated File System) on AS400 with a utf-8 ccsid 1208. What are the possible ways to create an IFS file with a specific CCSID?

What APIs and their parameters should I use to achieve this? Provide a sample RPGLE code to create an IFS file with a specific CCSID.

    There are two ways to create a file on the ifs with a specific ccsid.

    1. One way is to use the c api open() to create and open the ifs file with a specific ccsid.Syntax of open() api in RPG: 
           D open            PR            10I 0 extproc('open')                                            
     D ifspath                         *   value options(*string)               *ifs path             
     D oflag                         10I 0 value                                *string of 32 bits    
     D mode                          10U 0 value options(*nopass)               * 9 bits              
     D codepage                      10U 0 value options(*nopass)               *

      Here, in the codepage parameter, you need to specify the ccsid for the ifs file and there you can pass 1208.

    2. Another way is to use the command line in a Qshell.On IBM i green screen type QSH and press Enter to open the QSH Command Entry screen and use the following command:

      touch -C 1208 /ifspath/filename.txt
