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.
