For Double Byte Character Set (DBCS) fields with a keyboard shift of J or E, the field length must be even, and at least 4 bytes in order to hold at least one DBCS character and the shift-in and shift-out characters.
For DBCS fields with a keyboard shift of O, the field length must be at least 4 bytes in order to hold at least one DBCS character and the shift-in and shift-out characters.
Response: Specify a valid length of at least 4. The length you specify is number of bytes, not number of DBCS characters.
