<div><p>The wildcard (%WLDCRD) function with a double-byte character set
(DBCS) field differs depending on whether the function is used
with a bracketed-DBCS field or a DBCS-graphic field.</p>
<div class="p">When using the wildcard function with a bracketed-DBCS field, both single-byte
and double-byte wildcard values (asterisk and underline) are allowed. The
following special rules apply: <ul><li>A single-byte underline refers to one EBCDIC character; a double-byte
underline refers to one double-byte character.</li>
<li>A single- or double-byte asterisk refers to any number of characters of
any type.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="p">When using the wildcard function with a DBCS-graphic field, only double-byte
wildcard values (asterisk and underline) are allowed. The following special
rules apply: <ul><li>A double-byte underline refers to one double-byte character.</li>
<li>A double-byte asterisk refers to any number of double-byte characters.</li>
