Table Handling--SEARCH Statement

You can perform a Format 1 SEARCH statement (sequential search of a table) on a table that contains DBCS data half a DBCS character at a time.

You can also perform a Format 2 SEARCH statement (SEARCH ALL) against a DBCS table as well. Order the table according to the chosen collating sequence.

Note:
The shift control characters in DBCS data participate in the comparison.
