Error description

• On mixed field, if the last character of field data is
  double byte & it fully fills the field, the end data will be
  trimmed.
   Example: If there is a mixed field and its length is 10byte
    Input as  <sssssodbdb>
   s---Single byte character, o---Shift out, db--double byte char
   Press AID key, the string is sent to host as
                     <sssssodbi >   to host as
    i---Shift In

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: DBCS users with screens that have mixed      *
  *                 data fields and input DB char in last byte   *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: If the last character of a mixed field  *
  *                      is a double byte and it fully fills     *
  *                      the field, then it will be written on   *
  *                      the field in the browser.  However,     *
  *                      it will be trimmed after sent to host.  *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  Since the last character is DBCS there is no space to put SI.
  Therefore, the DBCS character will be removed after sent to
  host.
  

Problem conclusion

• Code was changed to check for the condition of data fully
  filling the field, and the last character being a DB char with
  no SI.  When this condition occurs then the final DB character
  will be removed.
