Different brands of workstations use different character sets to represent double-byte characters. See “Character sets” to learn what single-byte and double-byte character sets are supported on the workstation and at the mainframe.
Each character set used to handle Japanese characters has its own way of representing kanji or hankaku katakana characters and specifying lengths for Japanese character strings. While most of the differences are handled by the JCM, you need to understand a few of these differences in order to specify field lengths correctly. These differences are discussed in this section.
See Table 2-14 and Table 2-15 for information on character set differences in tabular form.
