Comparing DBCS Operands

The rules for comparing DBCS or DBCS-edited operands are the same as those for the comparison of nonnumeric operands. The comparison is based on a binary collating sequence of the hexadecimal values of the DBCS characters. The PROGRAM COLLATING clause of the OBJECT-COMPUTER paragraph will have no effect on this.
