  ****************************************************************
  The align left for print forms for dbcs fields was counting
  the leading dbcs spaces, but moved that count as the number
  of bytes. This caused half the amount being moved left as it
  should have been using.
  

Problem conclusion

• The software scans the correct single byte redefined field
  to obtain the count, instead of using the dbcs field.
