Converting national to alphanumeric (DISPLAY-OF)
Use the DISPLAY-OF intrinsic function
to convert national data to an alphanumeric (USAGE
DISPLAY) character string that is represented in a code
page that you specify as the second argument.
About this task
If you omit the second argument, the output code page is the one that was in effect with the CODEPAGE compiler
option when the source was compiled.
If you specify an EBCDIC or ASCII code page that combines single-byte character set (SBCS) and DBCS characters, the returned string might contain a mixture of SBCS and DBCS characters. The DBCS substrings are delimited by shift-in and shift-out characters if the code page in effect for the function is an EBCDIC code page.
