*PICNGRAPHIC
Fixed-length graphic data items associated with CCSID 13488 are declared as fixed-length N fields, and are accessible to the ILE COBOL source program. When the *VARCHAR option is also in use, variable-length graphic data items with CCSID 13488 are declared as fixed-length group items (made of a numeric field followed by N type field), and are accessible to the ILE COBOL source program.

*NOPICNGRAPHIC
The processing of graphic fields depends upon the values specified for the PICXGRAPHIC/NOPICXGRAPHIC and PICGGRAPHIC/NOPICGGRAPHIC options.
