To distinguish between characters of the EBCDIC character set and the double-byte character set (DBCS), DBCS characters must be enclosed between a shift-out delimiter (‘0E’) and a shift-in delimiter (‘0F’). In this error, the shift-in delimiter (‘0F’) was not found after a shift-out delimiter (‘0E’).

To correct the error, insert the character ‘0F’ at the end of the DBCS string beginning with ‘0E’. For more information about DBCS strings and characters, see z/OS TSO/E CLISTs.
