With this session parameter, you can specify trailing characters that
are to be displayed 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.
