Okay, so you look at column 50 in the listing and you see a blank? Now
what? It would help if the message included the offending literal
text, in hexadecimal, and explained SI and SO for the benefit of those
who have no reason to understand DBCS. If I didn't know what DBCS was
I would have found the message to be totally opaque, and as is I still
wouldn't have known what the offending data were.
