>>-DBTOSBCS--(--string--)--------------------------------------><
converts all passed, valid DBCS characters (including the
DBCS blank) within
string to the corresponding SBCS equivalents.
Other DBCS characters and all SBCS characters are not changed. In
EBCDIC, SO and SI brackets are removed where appropriate.
Here are some EBCDIC examples:
DBTOSBCS('<.S.d>/<.2.-.1>') -> 'Sd/2-1'
DBTOSBCS('<.X. .Y>') -> '<.X> <.Y>'
Note: In these examples, the .d is the DBCS character
corresponding to an SBCS d. But the .X and .Y do
not have corresponding SBCS characters and are not converted.
