The 16BITALIAS option enables you to use an alias name to reference a set or subset name using 16-bit (double-byte) character structure names.
The following restrictions apply to an alias name:
-
Only one alias name is allowed for each structure.
-
Alias names must be unique in a DASDL source file.
-
Alias names can have a maximum of fourteen 16-bit characters. A 16-bit character alias name must be embedded within the start double octet (SDO) and the end double octet (EDO). SDO and EDO are keys on a Kanji keyboard.
-
Alias names cannot be used as a rename in a remap.
-
The alias name and the original name of a set cannot be included together within a remap.
-
Kanji blanks (code value A1A1) are not allowed in an alias name.
