SC19-3621-00

If you are using the TE line command in a formatted data set, note these points:
  • The current boundaries are automatically changed during command processing, and are reset to the original values after processing is complete. Changes are as follows:
    • If the left boundary falls on the second byte of a DBCS character in a DBCS field, the boundary is shifted to the left by 1 byte.
    • If the right boundary does not fall on the same field as the left boundary, it is shifted to the last byte of the field that contains the left boundary. If it falls on the same DBCS field as the left boundary, and it also falls on the first byte of a DBCS character, the right boundary is shifted to the right by 1 byte.
  • The attribute of the field where the left boundary falls is used for the text input area attribute. The new input data is reformatted to fit within the current boundaries.
