Details
CurEbcdicSize returns the number of bytes a string would require if it was running in an EBCDIC environment.
In a DBCS environment shift in and shift out bytes are used for DBCS values. These bytes are not used in ASCII. A string that may be short enough to fit in a variable in Windows may not fit when running on the IBM i.
