DBSPACE

Makes the Compiler interpret the figurative constant SPACE, when used as a DBCS figurative constant, as the double-byte space character supplied by the system.

Syntax:
>>-.---.-.----.--DBSPACE-------------------><
   +-/-+ +-NO-+
Parameters:

None

Properties:
Default: Depends on the setting of MF"integer". If integer is greater than 7, the default is DBSPACE. Otherwise, it is NODBSPACE. (DIALECT DIALECT
Phase: Syntax check
$SET: Any
Dependencies:

DBSPACE set immediately by COBOL370, NCHAR"2", SAA, VSC2"2" or VSC2"3".

DBSPACE set immediately by MF"integer". If integer is greater than 7

Comments:

With DBSPACE, the Compiler uses the system-supplied double-byte space character. NODBSPACE provides compatibility with previous versions of this Compiler, where the double-byte space character was two ASCII space characters (x"2020").
