Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

     This directive is reserved for use with add-on products supplied
     by Micro Focus. Do not change its setting unless you have an
     appropriate add-on product.
 
     All literals and collating sequences are handled in the
     character set specified.
 
     Setting CHARSET "EBCDIC" sets DEFAULTBYTE "0" immediately and,
     after all other directives are processed, sets SIGN "EBCDIC"
     and NATIVE "EBCDIC". Thus if, for example, you specify:
 
         CHARSET "EBCDIC"  DEFAULTBYTE "1"  SIGN "ASCII"  NATIVE "ASCII"
 
     the SIGN and NATIVE directives will be overridden but the
     DEFAULTBYTE directive will not.
 
     For current limitations see the documentation for the appropriate
     add-on product.
