Use the SYMBOLIC CHARACTERS clause to give symbolic names to any character of the specified alphabet. Use ordinal position to identify the character, where position 1 corresponds to character X'00'.
For example, to give a name to the plus character (X'2B' in the ASCII alphabet), code:
SYMBOLIC CHARACTERS PLUS IS 44
You cannot use the SYMBOLIC CHARACTERS clause when the code page indicated by the locale is a multibyte-character code page.
