Double-byte character set (DBCS) support z/OS TSO/E REXX Reference SA32-0972-00 |
|
A Double-Byte Character Set supports languages that have more characters than can be represented by 8 bits (such as Korean Hangeul and Japanese kanji). REXX has a full range of DBCS functions and handling techniques. These include:
Note: The use of DBCS does not affect the meaning of the built-in
functions as described in Functions. This
explains how the characters in a result are obtained from the characters
of the arguments by such actions as selecting, concatenating, and
padding. The appendix describes how the resulting characters are
represented as bytes. This internal representation is not usually
seen if the results are printed. It may be seen if the results are
displayed on certain terminals.
