Double Byte Character Sets (DBCS)

A Double Byte Character Set is one where each character occupies two bytes instead of one. The support for DBCS has been implemented in PowerNet Twin Client for VTERM and 5250 terminal emulations in Dolphin 9500 and Dolphin 7850 Series terminals.

Note: DBCS is not currently available for 3270 terminal emulations.

To use DBCS, a code page for the specific character set (Traditional Chinese, for example) must be loaded on the Dolphin terminal. This code page must be provided by a third party.

More information on code pages can be found here: http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/ wincp.mspx
