Specify this field-level keyword to change input- and output-capable alphanumeric character fields to DBCS fields with data type O.
This keyword has no parameters.
Put the keyword into effect by specifying IGCDTA(*YES) on the CRTDSPF, CHGDSPF, and OVRDSPF commands. Fields specified with this keyword are DBCS fields when you specify IGCDTA(*YES) and are alphanumeric character fields when you specify IGCDTA(*NO). For example, you could create the file by specifying IGCDTA(*NO) on the CRTDSPF command. When using the file to display DBCS data, override the file with the OVRDSPF command, specifying IGCDTA(*YES). To override the display file IGCDSPF, type:
OVRDSPF FILE(IGCLIB/IGCDSPF) IGCDTA(*YES)
Consider the following, when using the IGCALTTYP keyword:
Option indicators are not allowed with IGCALTTYP.
Example:
The following example shows how to specify the IGCALTTYP keyword on the DDS coding form.
|...+....1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5....+....6....+....7....+....8 00010A R RECORD 00020A FLDA 79A I 23 2IGCALTTYP A
When the IGCALTTYP keyword is put into effect, FLDA can contain DBCS data.
