KANJI1 character data is usually a mixture of single- and multibyte characters. Therefore, even when a session uses a non-Japanese client character set, such as standard EBCDIC or ASCII, certain character configurations are interpreted either as starting a multibyte character string or as control characters.
The following interpretations apply to name and data characters for all client character sets when the server character set is KANJI1.
| Characters with a client encoding of … | Are … |
|---|---|
| 0x0E 0x0F |
interpreted as the Shift-Out or Shift-In character respectively, which delimit the start or end of a multibyte character string. |
| 0x80 0xFF |
translated internally into characters that are reserved for the ss 2 and ss 3 escape characters of KanjiEUC data. |
