If you want to display or enter double-byte data, you must:
- Work at a terminal that is configured to generate data in code
page IBM-939 and follow the procedures for the terminal emulator being
used, if any.
- Specify special LOGMODEs to access TSO/E and VTAM® support for DBCS. Typically the systems
programmer sets them up and provides you with instructions.
- Run the TSO/E PROFILE PLANGUAGE(JPN) command, if required, to receive Japanese-language messages
from the OMVS interface to the shell. Do not change your PROFILE PLANGUAGE
when temporarily switched to TSO/E from the shell. After you invoke
the shell, OMVS will not change the language of the messages it issues
until you exit the shell and return to TSO/E, change your PROFILE
PLANGUAGE, and reinvoke OMVS.
- Use the null translate table (the default) for character conversion.
You do not need to specify the CONVERT keyword on the OCOPY, OGET, OGETX, OPUT,
and OPUTX commands.
- Access the shell using the OMVS command
with the DBCS keyword, the default setting.
- Define a single-byte escape character for typing an escape sequence,
if you do not use the default ¢.
The shell utilities (for example, grep and ed)
work with DBCS data in the file system and can be used to create DBCS
data in the file system.
