DBCS
Instructs the assembler to accept double-byte character set data, and to support graphic (G-type) constants and self-defining terms. The assembler recognizes X'0E' and X'0F' in character strings enclosed by apostrophes, and treats them as Shift-Out and Shift-In control characters for delimiting DBCS data.
NODBCS
Specifies that the assembler does not recognize X'0E' and X'0F' as double-byte character set data delimiters, and does not support graphic (G-type) constants and self-defining terms.
