Using PRINT commands with DBCS

The PRINT commands are affected in the DBCS environment as follows:

DBCS character printing
Because shift-out and shift-in characters do not occupy positions on a printer, ISPF inserts a blank character before each shift-out and after each shift-in.
Fields affected by the OUTLINE keyword
Field-outlining information is embedded in the record as a set-attribute (SA) order. Each SA order occupies three bytes. One SA is required to start field-outlining, one to end field-outlining, and one to change field-outlining. Therefore, each affected field normally takes six additional bytes.

Thus, the record-length of print command output is larger than the screen width. The LIST file should be large enough to contain the expanded records. If not, the output might not print correctly.
