The primary impact on PDL for the handling of DBCS data is that it is the application's responsibility to be aware of and to manipulate the S/D and S/S characters.
For example, if DBCS data is stored in a dataview field without the S/D and S/S characters (implicit-DBCS or I-DBCS) and that field is moved to a panel field, the application program must surround the DBCS data with S/D and S/S characters (explicit-DBCS or E-DBCS).
CA Ideal provides special string functions to facilitate this operation, but the application must instruct PDL to do it. A reverse operation must then be done when the panel field is moved back to the dataview field.
