YES

instructs the assembler to accept double-byte character set data, and to support graphic (G-type) constants. The assembler recognizes X'0E' and X'0F' in character strings enclosed by apostrophes, and treats them as shift-out and shift-in control characters for delimiting DBCS data.

NO

the assembler does not recognize X'0E' and X'0F' as double-byte character set data delimiters, and does not support graphic (G-type) constants.

Default

DBCS=NO
