Local fix

Problem summary

• The charset default names are changed in Java 7 SR7 and Java 727
  SR1 for IBM1047_LF,IBM924_LF,IBM1141_LF,IBM1153,x-windows-874
  and RK1048 through APAR IV53873. The new names are not part of
  alias with earlier levels of JDK for
  IBM1047_LF,IBM924_LF,IBM1141_LF,IBM1153 and hence
  UnsupportedCharsetException seen if new names are used as
  charset name with earlier levels of JDK.
  

Problem conclusion

• The problem is resolved by reverting to the old name for
  IBM1047_LF,IBM924_LF,IBM1141_LF,IBM1153,x-windows-874 and
  RK1048.
