DBCS multibyte characters

Some characters in certain code pages are represented with 3 or more bytes. The CICS® Universal Client does not support multibyte characters that are longer than 2 bytes. If you try to display such characters on a CICS terminal, you will get unpredictable results.

If you are running on a locale that is unique to AIX, you might experience problems when connecting to certain CICS servers. The table below lists the relevant client/server combinations.
