Purpose

Provides multiple-byte character set (MBCS) support for string and word functions used by the Default language environment. You can set this variable in the Net.Data initialization file, but you can use it in the macro to set or override the current setting.

Specify the value of this variable using a DEFINE statement or with the @DTW_ASSIGN() function.

You can set this variable in the Net.Data initialization file, but you can use it in the macro to set or override the current setting.

OS/400 users: Net.Data for OS/400 automatically enables functions for MBCS support and does not need this variable. Net.Data for OS/400 ignores this variable in macros that are migrated to the OS/400 operating system.
