Double-byte character set HLASM General Information GC26-4943-06 |
|
In addition to the standard EBCDIC set of characters, High Level Assembler accepts double-byte character set (DBCS) data. When the DBCS option is specified, High Level Assembler accepts
double-byte data as follows:
Double-byte data in source statements must always be bracketed by the shift-out (SO) and shift-in (SI) characters to distinguish it from single-byte data. Double-byte data is supported in the operands of the AREAD and REPRO statements, and in comments and remarks, regardless of the invocation option. Double-byte data assigned to a SETC variable symbol by an AREAD statement contain the SO and SI. |
