  *                      the standard Simplified Chinese         *
  *                      (PRC1115) single byte code point        *

  ****************************************************************
  The code point range for FTP simplified Chinese double byte code
  page was expanded to first byte x'81' to x'FE', and the second
  byte range from x'40' to x'FE'.  If the non-standard range
  is desired, a new FTP.DATA statement is provided to enable
  this.  The new FTP.DATA statement is EXTDBSCHINESE.
  Use the EXTDBSCHINESE statement to specify whether
  the extended double byte range for Simplified
  Chinese characters is enabled (TRUE) for translation
  from ASCII to EBCDIC code points.  The default is TRUE.

Problem conclusion

• The FTP client and server have been enhanced to enable
  EXTDBSCHINESE.

  Documentation updates
  IBM Communications Server:
  IP Configuration Reference
  SC318776
  
  Add the following under FTP.DATA data set statements
  
  EXTDBSCHINESE (FTP server and client)
  
  Use the EXTDBSCHINESE statement to specify whether
  the extended double byte range for Simplified
  Chinese characters is enabled (TRUE) for translation
  from ASCII to EBCDIC code points.  This is the default.
  
  The extended range when EXTDBSCHINESE is TRUE is:
  1st byte : x'81' - x'FE'
  2nd byte : x'40' - x'FE'
  
  The standard range when EXTDBSCHINESE is FALSE is:
  1st byte : x'8C' - x'FE'
  2nd byte : x'A1' - x'FE'
  
  Syntax
  
        _EXTDBSCHINESE__TRUE___
       |                       |
   >>__|_EXTDBSCHINESE__FALSE__|________________<<
                       |TRUE___|
  
  Parameters
  TRUE
  Specifies that the extended double byte range
  for Simplified Chinese characters is enabled
  for translation from ASCII to EBCDIC code points.
  This is the default.
  1st byte range: x'81' - x'FE'
  2nd byte range: x'40' - x'FE'
  
  FALSE
  Specifies that the extended double byte range
  for Simplified Chinese characters is not enabled
  for translation from ASCII to EBCDIC code points.
  1st byte range: x'8C' - x'FE'
  2nd byte range: x'A1' - x'FE'
  
  
  Examples
  Use EXTDBSCHINESE FALSE to disable the extended double
  byte range for simplified Chinese.
  
       EXTDBSCHINESE FALSE
  ================================================================
  IBM Communications Server:
  IP User's Guide and Commands
  SC318780
  
  Add the following to the SITE and LOCSITE Subcommands
  
  Add the following 2 lines into the format chart:
  |_EXTDBSCHINESE_______________________|
  |_NOEXTDBSCHINESE                     |
  
  
  And add the following descriptions:
  
  EXTDBSCHINESE
  Specifies that the extended range for double byte simplified
  Chinese translations from ASCII to EBCDIC is used.
  
  The extended range when EXTDBSCHINESE is specified is:
  1st byte : x'81' - x'FE'
  2nd byte : x'40' - x'FE'
  
  NOEXTDBSCHINESE
  Specifies that the extended range for double byte simplified
  Chinese translations from ASCII to EBCDIC is not used.
  
  The standard range when NOEXTDBSCHINESE is specified is:
  1st byte : x'8C' - x'FE'
  2nd byte : x'A1' - x'FE'
