Note: In mixed character strings, a shift-in following a DBCS character or following a shift-out causes a transition to single-byte mode. It is impossible for the first byte of a DBCS character in a mixed character string to contain a shift-in.
The ERROR condition is raised.
Ensure mixed character strings contain balanced, unnested shift-out/shift-in pairs. The MPSTR built-in function can be used to check shift-out/shift-in pairs. ONSOURCE and ONCHAR pseudovariables cannot be used to assign a new value to the string. ERROR is raised if retry is attempted.
