<ul class="ullinks">
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbal3dbcsf.htm">Double-byte character set fundamentals</a></strong><br />
Some languages, such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, have a writing scheme that uses many different characters that cannot be represented with single-byte codes. To create coded character sets for such languages, the server uses two bytes to represent each character. Characters that are encoded in two-byte code are called double-byte characters.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbal3pdbc.htm">Process double-byte characters</a></strong><br />
Due to the large number of double-byte characters, the server needs more information to identify each double-byte character than is needed to identify each alphanumeric character.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbal3fsup.htm">DBCS device file support</a></strong><br />
This section describes DBCS-capable device files and special considerations for working with DBCS-capable device files.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbal3displaysupport.htm">DBCS display support</a></strong><br />
This section provides information about displaying double-byte characters.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbal3ptr6.htm">Copy DBCS files</a></strong><br />
You can copy both spooled and nonspooled DBCS files.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbal3apcon.htm">Application program considerations for DBCS</a></strong><br />
This section describes considerations for writing applications that process double-byte data.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbal3igctbl.htm">DBCS font tables</a></strong><br />
DBCS font tables contain the images of the double-byte extended characters used on the server. The server uses these images to display and print extended characters.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbal3fontfiles.htm">DBCS font files</a></strong><br />
In addition to the server-supplied DBCS font tables, the server also provides DBCS font files. These DBCS font files are physical files which contain frequently used double-byte characters.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbal3igcsrt.htm">DBCS sort tables</a></strong><br />
DBCS sort tables contain the sort information and collating sequences of all the double-byte characters used on the server. The server uses these tables to sort double-byte characters using the sort utility.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbal3ideodit.htm">DBCS conversion dictionaries</a></strong><br />
The DBCS conversion dictionary is a collection of alphanumeric entries and their related DBCS words. The server refers to the dictionary when performing DBCS conversion.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbal3idconv.htm">DBCS conversion (for Japanese use only)</a></strong><br />
When you use DBCS display stations to enter double-byte data, you
can use the various data entry methods supported on the display station, or
you can choose to use the <span class="keyword">iSeries™</span> DBCS
conversion support.</li>
