Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:                                              *
  * IMS users that have print forms for SCS1 devices and are     *
  * using DBCHAR or MBCHAR fields.                               *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * Some of the double-byte or mixed-byte variables or literals  *
  * can be garbled and not displayed correctly, if using IMS     *
  * print forms for SCS1 devices. The MFS source that was        *
  * generated was missing the extended attributes EGCS, MIX or   *
  * MIXS.                                                        *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  

Problem conclusion

• Once this fix has been applied, the MFS source will be generated
  for SCS1 print devices with the extra eattr values. The text
  forms were already generating these extended attributes
  correctly.
