Resolution

To check if the DBCS option is valid or not, specify field type peculiar to Kanji such as "K" or "M" in a Easytieve program and compile it.

Example;

field-name    W       6          K  

If the DBCS option isn't valid for the Easytrieve program, the B098 compilation error message appears for the applicable field statement as follows.

field-name    W       6          K  

*******B098 NOT A VALID TYPE - K

If the DBCS option is valid for the Easytrieve program, the B098 error doesn't appear for the M or K type fields.
