immediately to the right of a field output with a DISPLAY
statement. The width of the output column is enlarged
accordingly.

Notes:
TCU
is identical to the session
parameter TC
. The difference
is that the trailing characters are always stored in Unicode format. This allows you to
specify trailing characters with mixed characters from different code pages, and assures
that always the correct character is displayed independent of the installed system code
page.
