DBCHECK

Makes the Compiler check that any Double-byte Character Set (DBCS) literals only contain valid 16-bit DBCS characters.

Syntax:

>>-.---.-.----.--DBCHECK-------------------><
   +-/-+ +-NO-+

Parameters:

None

Properties:

Default: DBCHECK (Dialect)
Phase: Syntax check
$SET: Initial

Comments:

If you specify DBCHECK in environments that support validation of DBCS data, any literal that does not contain only valid 16-bit DBCS characters results in syntax error 1048 (DBCS literal includes invalid data).
