If your configuration uses a DBCS code page, you can use the SFTDEL function to delete the shift code from DBCS data.
SFTDEL(source_string, length, output)
where:
Alphanumeric
Is the string from which the shift code will be deleted.
Integer
Is the length of the source string in bytes. The string can have a mixture of DBCS and SBCS characters. Therefore, the number of bytes represents the maximum number of characters possible in the source string.
Alphanumeric
In the following, SFTDEL deleted the shift code from the COUNTRY field (up to 10 bytes long):
COUNTRY_DEL/A10 = SFTDEL(COUNTRY, 10, 'A10');
The output in ASCII environments is shown in the following image:
The output in EBCDIC environments is shown in the following image:
