DBCS notation
In this document, DBCS characters are shown in this form:
D1D2D3. Latin alphabet characters in DBCS representation are shown in this
form: .A.B.C.
Notes
- In EBCDIC DBCS data containing mixed single-byte and double-byte
characters, double-byte character strings are delimited by shift-out and
shift-in characters. In this document, the shift-out delimiter
is represented pictorially by the < character, and the shift-in character
is represented pictorially by the > character. The single-byte EBCDIC
codes for the shift-out and shift-in delimiters are X'0E' and X'0F',
respectively. The <> symbol denotes contiguous shift-out and shift-in
characters. The >< symbol denotes contiguous shift-in and shift-out
characters.
- In ASCII DBCS data containing mixed single-byte and double-byte
characters, double-byte character strings are not delimited by shift-out and
shift-in characters.
