Positional entries for files that use DBCS data

Positional entries are adapted so that you can define data fields that contain double-byte character set (DBCS) data. The entries are adapted for the length and data type positional entries.

DBCS data is either bracketed or graphic. Bracketed-DBCS data begins with a shift-out character and ends with a shift-in character. DBCS-graphic data contains only DBCS data and does not contain shift-out or shift-in characters. The term DBCS refers to both bracketed and graphic DBCS data.
