DBCS File-Transfer Option

For Japanese DBCS sessions, specifying the JISCII file-transfer option does the following when sending a file:
  • Converts 1-byte workstation codes to EBCDIC codes
  • Converts 2-byte codes to IBM® kanji codes
  • Inserts SO (hex 0E) and SI (hex 0F) before and after a kanji field
  • Converts RS (hex 1E) and US (hex 1F) to SO (hex 0E) and SI (hex 0F)
Specifying the JISCII option when receiving a file does the following:
  • Converts EBCDIC codes to 1-byte workstation codes
  • Converts IBM kanji codes to 2-byte codes
  • Removes SO (hex 0E) and SI (hex 0F) before and after a kanji field

For other DBCS sessions, such as Korean, Chinese, or Taiwanese, specify the ASCII file transfer option.
