Shift-control character printing

The DBCS printers can print shift-control characters in one of the following ways:

• Suppress the shift-control characters so that these characters do not occupy any space on printed output.
• Print one blank in the space occupied by each shift-control character.
• Print two blanks in the space occupied by the shift-in character and suppress the shift-out character.

Specify how to print shift-control characters on the DBCS printers with the IGCSOSI parameter on the CRTPRTF, CHGPRTF, and OVRPRTF commands.

For data printed using the DBCS-graphic data type with an externally described printer file, shift-out/shift-in processing is not used. Instead, the shift control characters added to the DBCS data do not occupy any space on the printed output.
