Re: DBCS problem

Hello!

I have a problem with the DBCS. When I run a program, everytime I access an item of a menu, an error message appears CPA4062. I have created a Reply List Entry for this message with 'G' reply, but no result, the message still appears.

Message ID . . . . . . : CPA4062
Date sent . . . . . . : 10/14/04 Time sent . . . . . . : 14:55:04

Message . . . . :   DBCS device may be required. (C G)

Cause . . . . . : A double-byte (DBCS) device may be required to display
this file correctly. Indications of a DBCS file are data types J, E, O or G
defined in a field, or a display file created or changed specifying
parameter IGCDTA(*YES) in the command.
Recovery . . . : Enter a G to continue processing or a C to cancel
processing.
Possible choices for replying to message . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :
G -- Continue processing.
C -- Cancel processing.

Anybody knows how can I fix the problem?

This is not a problem. It is normal behaviour when you try to display a panel that contains DBCS-capable fields on a device that is not capable of displaying DBCS data. If you know their will be no DBCS data in the output you can answer G.

Just adding an entry to the system reply list is not sufficient. You must also tell your job to use the reply list by running CHGJOB INQMSGRPY(*SYSRPYL)

The proper solution is to not use DBCS capable display files or panel groups unless you have a DBCS capable device. DBCS capable devices are all 5555 devices (e.g. 5555-B01 or 5555-C01). DBCS versions of Client Access (and other emulators) can create these device types.
