Enabling DBCS Data Operations and Symbol Use

The OPTIONS instruction controls how REXX regards DBCS data. To enable DBCS operations, use the EXMODE option. To enable DBCS symbols, use the ETMODE option on the OPTIONS instruction; this must be the first instruction in the program. (See page OPTIONS for more information.)

If OPTIONS ETMODE is in effect, the language processor does validation to ensure that SO and SI are paired in comments. Otherwise, the contents of the comment are not checked. The comment delimiters (/* and */) must be SBCS characters.
