The ONWSOURCE pseudovariable sets the current value of the ONWSOURCE
built-in function. The element value assigned to the pseudovariable
is converted to a widechar string and, if necessary, is padded on
the right with widechar blanks or truncated to match the length of
the field that raised the CONVERSION condition. The string is used
when the conversion is attempted again.

When conversion is retried, the string assigned to the pseudovariable is processed as a single data item. For this reason, the error correction process must not assign a string containing more than one data item when the conversion occurs during the execution of a GET LIST or GET DATA statement. The presence of blanks or commas in the string could raise CONVERSION again.
The pseudovariable must not be used out of context.
