Set KBDTYPE for Console with CCSID1148

We had a long case TS014934868 because after IPL our Console had the wrong KBDTYPE set. We have CCSID 1148 on the System and SGI Keyboards. After the IPL the Console Keyboard was set to "USB".

This case went through many instances and at the end the answer was: With CCSID 1148 (or 500) there could be different keyboards related to (Switzerland, Belgium...) and therefor the keyboard will be resetted.

Now as a workaround we vary off the DSP01 after each IPL and change it back to SGI.

    The CAAC has reviewed this IBM Idea and recommends that IBM view this as a “nice to have” low priority feature.

    From a internationalization stand point, the console should not reset if the CCSID is set to an international value.

    Background: The COMMON Americas Advisory Council (CAAC) members have a broad range of experience in working with small and medium-sized IBM i customers. CAAC has a key role in working with IBM i development to help assess the value and impact of individual IBM Ideas on the broader IBM i community and has therefore reviewed your Idea.
