References to DBCS Items

A DBCS function can be specified anywhere in the general formats that a DBCS identifier is permitted, and where the rules associated with the general formats do not specifically prohibit reference to functions, except as follows:

A reference modification for a DBCS function is allowed. If reference modification is specified for a function, the evaluation of the reference modification takes place immediately after the evaluation of the function.

A DBCS function can be referenced as an argument for a function that allows a DBCS argument.
