Provide the maximum default export width for a character data type and client form-of-use. The expected width multiplier for this case is 2 with an adjustment of 1.

Maximum mode is designed to handle cases where there can be multiple Shift Out and Shift In characters in the same string for a mainframe client. Because determining a true maximum is a complex computation, Vantage simplifies the calculation by multiplying n *3 to determine the number of bytes exported based on the number of Unicode characters.

If the length of the character string is 1, the maximum number is two bytes for a double-byte character plus 1 byte each for the Shift Out and Shift In characters (assuming the client is a mainframe), making four bytes. Vantage adds 1 byte to handle this case.
