<div><p>There are certain considerations for using DBCS conversion. </p>
<div class="section"><ul><li>You can only perform DBCS conversion at a DBCS display station, using
the 5556 keyboard.</li>
<li>You can use DBCS conversion to insert or replace characters only if the
line in which double-byte characters are to be inserted has sufficient space. <ul><li>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.</li>
<li>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.</li>
</ul>
<div class="p">The following result happens when you do not have enough
space: <ul><li>If you try to insert or replace a string of characters where there is
no space available, the server sends a message.</li>
<li>If you ignore the message and press the Enter key again, the server truncates
the characters in excess of the limit from the right side of the string to
be inserted or replaced.</li>
