Short Output Field Processing; Shift Code Insertion Suppression Process - HP StorageWorks P9000 User Manual

.
When double-byte code conversion (double-byte and single-byte in the same field) is carried out from
a coding system without a shift code to a coding system with a shift code, the user can choose not to
insert a shift code in the output field. A shift code is a special code that shows the boundary of
double-byte/single-byte characters.
NOTE:
It is necessary to additionally specify TRAN_SHIFT_NO for code conversion mode in the Edit Option
file. Normally, a shift code is inserted.
