Natural checks the correct pairing of SO/SI for DBCS (double-byte character set) terminals. |
| Actn. |
Check program logic and generate correct SO/SI pairs. |
| Text | Invalid character or shift character in DBCS-only field. |
| Expl. |
A DBCS-only field is an alphanumeric field for which the session parameter PM=D is set. It must contain only valid DBCS characters; shift-out/shift-in characters (SO/SI) are not allowed within such a field. If either - a shift-out/shift-in character (SO/SI) or - a character code that is not a valid DBCS character is detected, this error is issued. Shift-out/shift-in characters (SO/SI) are always detected. Because the detection of non-DBCS characters requires ICU, it will not be performed if ICU is not available (that is, if the profile parameter CFICU=OFF has been set). |
| Actn. |
Correct the content of the DBCS-only field. |
| Text | The WINDOW statements are no longer consistent. |
