Specify the data type in this position by typing one of the following:
The display station automatically inserts shift-control characters in fields specified with this data type.
If you specify J, you must specify an even number for the field length (positions 30 through 34).
You can type either DBCS or alphanumeric characters in the field. The type of data typed in the first position of the field determines the type of data that can be typed in the remainder of the field. If the field is empty, the system assumes that alphanumeric data will be typed in. To change the field so DBCS data can be typed, position the cursor in the field and put the keyboard in DBCS mode.
If the field contains DBCS data, the display station automatically inserts shift-control characters.
If you specify E, you must specify an even number for the field length (positions 30 through 34).
If the field contains DBCS data, the system does not ensure that the data is enclosed between shift-control characters.
If you specify O, you can specify either an even or an odd number for the field length (positions 30 through 34).
If you specify G, you must specify the number of DBCS characters for the field length (positions 30 through 34).
