Continued-characters-state specifies whether character data crossing multiple response parcels in MultipartIndicator mode is well-formed within each parcel or only when all parcels are considered. This option has effect only if the character set being used supports locking-shifts (such as the Shift-out and Shift-in control characters).

One of the following values can be set before initiating a request:
| If... | Then set Connect-type to... |
|---|---|
| the default, indicates that character data crossing multiple response parcels is well-formed only when all parcels are considered. This is appropriate if the data from all parcels containing the data are to be concatenated. | 'L' |
| indicates that character data crossing multiple response parcels in MultipartIndicator mode is well-formed within each parcel. This is appropriate if the data in each parcel is processed separately. | 'U' |
