SOSI4

Intended for use on workstation platforms where the user has DBCS text being converted from ASCII to EBCDIC, and is also using a PAGEDEF to convert the data to AFP. SOSI4 processing is similar to SOSI2, with the following difference. Specifying SOSI4 causes ACIF to scan the input (EBCDIC) for SOSI characters and if any are found, they are skipped but not counted as part of the input columns. This means that the PAGEDEF FIELD offsets should be correct after conversion from ASCII to EBCDIC and the user does not need to account for SOSI characters when computing the PAGEDEF FIELD offsets. Note: The SOSI characters do have to be counted in determining the ACIF trigger and field offsets.
