Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED:                                              *
    * DBCS users that are using IMS and MFS and have literals that *
    * are larger than 25 DBCS characters (50 bytes)                *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
    * This problem would occur if there were DBCS literal strings  *
    * in the form that would cause the MFS source to have to be    *
    * split across multiple lines, due to the length of the DBCS   *
    * text. This caused various problems to occur that would       *
    * manifest itself as invalid source code.                      *
    * This fix causes the form to be prescanned and to determine   *
    * if this situation exists. If it does, then the MFS source is *
    * created as a binary file instead and sent to the mainframe   *
    * already converted to the server code page's values.          *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
