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:                                              *
