<div><p>Positional entries are adapted so that you can define data fields
that contain DBCS data. The entries are adapted for the length and data type
positional entries.</p>
<p>DBCS data is either <dfn class="term">bracketed</dfn> or <dfn class="term">graphic</dfn>.
Bracketed-DBCS data begins with a shift-out character and ends with a shift-in
character. DBCS-graphic data contains only DBCS data and does not contain
shift-out and shift-in characters. The term DBCS refers to both bracketed
and graphic DBCS data.</p>
