How to limit 35 charactger field to output 35 bytes in Unicode system

46 Views

Hello,

I hope someone can help me. We are have upgraded from 4.5b to 6.2 Unicode and in the previous system when 35 characters of double byte characters was output to a Unix file via OPEN DATASET FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE - only 35 bytes would be output. Under unicode we are now having 35 characters being output not 35 bytes. Has anyone had any experience with limiting the number of bytes output to a field. I have tried all variations of the OUTPUT DATASET command.

All help will be much appreciated.
