NCL Function Changes with &CONTROL DBCS Options

The remainder of this chapter describes the NCL functions that are affected by the &CONTROL DBCS, &CONTROL DBCSN, and &CONTROL DBCSP options. Those NCL functions are:

• &ASISTR
• &CONCAT
• &FNDSTR
• &LENGTH
• &OVERLAY
• &REMSTR
• &SELSTR
• &SETLENG
• &STR
• &SUBSTR

In the examples supplied for each function, the following symbols are used:

• A less than sign (<) is used to represent a shift out character
• A greater than sign (>) is used to represent a shift in character
• DBCS characters are represented as a period (.) followed by a single byte character (for example, <.A> represents a double byte A)
• An underscore (_) is used to represent a X'40' in a DBCS string or a single byte blank
