Use this command to verify that one of the tables in the system prints and displays characters in the matrix pattern used by a given device. If the table does not exist, the system sends you a message. If the table exists, the system does not send you a message.

DBCS font tables contain the images, in a given dot matrix, of the double-byte extension characters used on the system. The system refers to the tables when printing and displaying these characters. There are separate tables for each character image matrix used by devices attached to the system.
