Error description

• ENVIRONMENT:
  
  HATS v8.0.3
  3270/5250 web application
  
  Problem title: Incorrect cursor position on DBCS field.
  
  When user enters eraseEOF on the DBCS field, DBCS is cut off by
  the half length. Sample: ABCDE* (ABCDE=DBCS, *=Cursor position).
  It is as follows: if eraseEOF is pressed when cursor is in this
  position.
  
  Result:AB* User found out that the cursor position is displayed
  on a screen as being incorrect. If cursor is operated on DBCS
  data, whenever 1 character moves, 2 bytes of cursor should move.
  However, it moves only 1 byte. User provided screen caps for
  both PCOMM and HOST.
  
  Essentially:if cursor is in this position on DBCS, the DBCS will
  be cut off by the half length.
