Double-byte character text in CL commands
Use double-byte character data anywhere in a CL command that descriptive text can be used.
Enter double-byte character text as follows:
- Begin the double-byte character text with an apostrophe (').
- Enter a shift-out character.
- Enter the double-byte character text.
- Enter a shift-in character.
- End the double-byte character text with an apostrophe (').
For example, to enter the double-byte character literal ABC, enter the following, where 0E represents the shift-out character and 0F represents the shift-in character:
'0EABC0F'
Limit the length of a double-byte character text description of an object to 14 double-byte characters, plus the shift control characters, to make sure that the description is properly displayed and printed.
