Figure 27. Example Screen 5 234 File Management V4R5 The system enters the word into the field. Converting many alphanumeric entries at one time to DBCS: You do not have to continually start DBCS conversion for each alphanumeric entry. Instead, you can do the following: 1. Enter as many alphanumeric entries as will fit into field B. Separate each entry by a blank. Field B contains space for 12 alphanumeric characters: These are the entries to be converted. | | | I XXX_YYY_ZZZ_ _ A B C D The system converts the entries one at a time, in the order entered. When the system converts an entry, the system displays the DBCS words related to that entry in field D. 2. Position the cursor under the DBCS word that you want to use. 3. Press the Enter key. Then, the system adjusts field B; the next entry is moved to the position farthest left of the field. The DBCS words related to that entry are displayed in field D. At this time, you can enter additional alphanumeric entries to be converted at the end of field B. Converting alphanumeric blanks to DBCS blanks: You can convert alphanumeric blanks (one position wide) to DBCS blanks (two positions wide, the same width as double-byte characters) using DBCS conversion. To convert blanks, do the following: 1. Enter one or more blanks in field B. _ ____________ _ A B C D HRSLS325-0

2. Press the Enter key. The system displays in field D the same number of DBCS blanks as the alphanumeric blanks that you entered in field B. The DBCS blanks are displayed in reverse image. 3. Press the Enter key again. The system enters the DBCS blanks into the field where you started DBCS conversion. Changing alphanumeric entries or conversion code to DBCS: If none of the related words shown during conversion are suitable candidates for the alphanumeric entry, and you would like to try a conversion again (by using a different type of conversion or a different alphanumeric entry), do the following: 1. Move the cursor to field B. For example: Move the cursor here. | XXXXXX _ ____________ _ _________________________ A B C D 2. Do one of the following: a. Position the cursor under the first position of the field in which you want to enter alphanumeric entries. b. Enter a different alphanumeric entry. c. Change the conversion code in field C, such as from H to K. 3. Press the Enter key. 4. Continue DBCS conversion. Using DBCS conversion to enter words in the DBCS conversion dictionary: You can use DBCS conversion when entering DBCS words on the Edit Related Words display. To start DBCS conversion, do the following: 1. Position the cursor at the position where the DBCS word is to be entered. 2. Press F18. The system displays the conversion prompt line at the bottom of the display. Perform DBCS conversion according to the instructions described in “Performing DBCS Conversion” on page 229. Note: You must start and end DBCS conversion separately for each line of data. Considerations for using DBCS Conversion Consider the following when performing DBCS conversion: v You can only perform DBCS conversion at a DBCS display station, using the 5556 keyboard. v You may use DBCS conversion to insert or replace characters only if the line in which double-byte characters are to be inserted has sufficient space. – The space available for inserting characters is equal to the number of characters from the last character on the line that is not blank to the right edge of the display. – The space available for replacing characters is equal to the number of characters from the cursor position (including the character marked by the cursor) to the end of the DBCS portion of the field. The following happens when you do not have enough space: Appendix B. Double-byte character set support 235

The system converts the entries one at a time, in the order entered. When the<br />

system converts an entry, the system displays the DBCS words related to that<br />

entry in field D.<br />

2. Position the cursor under the DBCS word that you want to use.<br />

3. Press the Enter key. Then, the system adjusts field B; the next entry is moved to<br />

the position farthest left of the field. The DBCS words related to that entry are<br />

displayed in field D.<br />

At this time, you can enter additional alphanumeric entries to be converted at<br />

the end of field B.<br />

Converting alphanumeric blanks to DBCS blanks: You can convert<br />

alphanumeric blanks (one position wide) to DBCS blanks (two positions wide, the<br />

same width as double-byte characters) using DBCS conversion.<br />

To convert blanks, do the following:<br />
