Check with your systems programmer. HILITE may have been purposely

Thanks!

doesn't work.
What does Mixed mode
Had to look up 'Mixed Mode' first and it seems to be related to
DBCS.
Here's what the tutorial page says on 'Mixed Mode':
You can edit unformatted mixed data which contains both
EBCDIC (one-byte) characters and Double Byte Character Set (DBCS
or two-byte) characters. To do this, you must
Hi Robert,
Thanks much for your help!
I also do not have any experience on DBCS.
And after trials and errors, finally it works !
In the System Main Menu - PDF,
instead of choosing Utilities - Dslist,
I chose Edit, then a screen came up, and then I typed the dataset name
and chose not to
