DDS Reference: ICF Files
Consider the following when describing an ICF file that contains DBCS
data:
- Use ICF files only to send data from the iSeries server to another system
or to a remote work station.
- Send shift-control characters with DBCS data. The system is not
aware of DBCS data in an ICF file, and treats DBCS data the same as
alphanumeric data.
- When using the reference function in an ICF file, if you refer to a field
in a database file that has data type J, O, or E, DDS will assign data type O
for the field in the ICF file.
- DBCS-graphic fields cannot be referenced from a database file because
fields with data type G are not allowed in an ICF file. If a field with
a data type of G is referenced from a database file, an error message is
issued.
