SO - Shift-Out Code for Double-Byte Character Set

This Natural profile parameter is only relevant for Asian countries which use double-byte character sets (DBCS). The parameter is used to specify a shift-out code.

Warning:
Note that the profile parameter SO will no longer be available with the next release of Natural. The functionality of the profile parameter SO is covered by the profile parameter SOSI.
Possible settings 0E Shift-out code for IBM hardware.
28 Shift-out code for Fujitsu hardware.
Default setting none  
Dynamic specification yes  
Specification within session no  

The shift-out code is used to indicate the point at which the code of character representation is shifted out of normal (single-byte) mode into double-byte mode. The end of the double-byte character representation (shift-in code) is indicated by the setting defined with the profile parameter SI.
