<div><p>These topics describe the DBCS considerations for the positional
entries and keyword entries for physical and logical files, along with general
considerations for database files.</p>

on both DBCS and non-DBCS systems.</p>

<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="dbpos.htm">Positional entry considerations for database files that use DBCS</a></strong><br />
These topics describe DBCS considerations for the length, data type, and decimal positional entries on database files. Positional entries that are not mentioned have no special considerations for DBCS.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="dbkwd.htm">Keyword considerations for database files that use DBCS</a></strong><br />
Do not specify DDS keywords intended for use with numeric data for fields containing DBCS data. The system treats DBCS data the same as character data, and, therefore, cannot perform arithmetic operations on it.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="daddcon.htm">Additional considerations for describing database files that contain DBCS data</a></strong><br />
Be aware of the considerations when describing a database file that contains DBCS fields.</li>
