Summary

The MBCS_CHARSIZE_ procedure returns the display size (in columns) and the

storage size (in bytes) of multibyte character set (MBCS) characters from the character

set specified by the

charset parameter.

The storage size of all supported internal MBCSs has a 1:1 relationship to the number

of display columns required; thus, a 20-byte string of HP Kanji characters requires 20

columns of display space on a terminal or printer.
