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documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

     When shift-out and shift-in characters are specified by this
     directive, every DBCS literal must have the shift-out character
     immediately after the opening quotation mark and the shift-in
     character immediately before the closing quotation mark.
 
     They act as additional delimiters to the literal, and are not
     part of its value. With NODBCSSOSI, no shift-out and shift-in
     characters are needed or recognized.
 
     This feature may not be supported by your compiler.
