Compare DBCS fields through the Open Query File (OPNQRYF) command

When comparing two fields or constants, fixed-length fields can be compared to variable-length fields as long as the types are compatible.

Table 1 describes valid comparisons for double-byte character set (DBCS) fields through the OPNQRYF command.
