<div><p>This tells how to change an application program to a double-byte
application program.</p>
<div class="section"> <p>If an alphanumeric application program uses externally-described
display files, you can change that application program to a double-byte application
program by changing only the files. To convert an application program, do
the following: </p>
<ol><li>Create a duplicate copy of the source statements for the alphanumeric
file you want to change.</li>
<li>Change alphanumeric constants and literals to double-byte constants and
literals.</li>
<li>Change fields in the file to one of the following data types to enter
DBCS data: <ul><li>DBCS-open (O) data type</li>
<li>DBCS-only (J) data type</li>
<li>DBCS-either (E) data</li>
</ul>
<p>You do not have to change the length of the fields.</p>
</li>
<li>Store the converted display file in a separate library. Give the file
the same name as its alphanumeric version.</li>
<li>To use the converted file in a job, change the library list, using the
Change Library List (CHGLIBL) command, for the job in which the file is used.
The library in which the double-byte display file is stored is then checked
before the library in which the alphanumeric version of the file is stored.</li>
