The double-byte character set (DBCS) z/OS TSO/E CLISTs SA32-0978-00 |
|
The CLIST language allows data to contain characters of the double-byte character set. The double-byte character set (DBCS) is used in national languages such as Japanese and Korean which have more than 256 characters, the maximum number that can be represented with one byte of data. As the name implies, double-byte characters are each composed of two bytes, allowing a vastly increased number of characters. |
