&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==Summary==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;dl&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;dt&amp;gt;Description&amp;lt;/dt&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;dd&amp;gt;The IFDECL call lets you declare STRING %variables to support the use and display of double-byte character set (DBCS) characters.&amp;lt;/dd&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;dt&amp;gt;Thread type&amp;lt;/dt&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;dd&amp;gt;Multi-cursor IFAM&amp;lt;/dd&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;dt&amp;gt;IFCALL function number&amp;lt;/dt&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;dd&amp;gt;Not applicable&amp;lt;/dd&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/dl&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Syntax==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p class=&amp;quot;syntax&amp;quot;&amp;gt;IFDECL %variable [IS] [EBCDIC | MIXED {DBCS | KANJI} | DBCS | KANJI] [&amp;lt;var class=&amp;quot;term&amp;quot;&amp;gt;options&amp;lt;/var&amp;gt;]&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The parameters for IFDECL are the same as for the Model 204 &amp;lt;var&amp;gt;[[SOUL_syntax#DECLARE|DECLARE]]&amp;lt;/var&amp;gt; statement.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Usage notes==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
To support the use and display of Kanji characters, which require two bytes each, the IFDECL call declares STRING %variables as one of three types for use in an IFFIND: &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;STRING EBCDIC:&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; the default type, contains single byte characters, in the EBCDIC collating sequence &amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;STRING DBCS:&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; can contain only pure DBCS characters (double-byte data only, with no shift sequences)&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;STRING MIXED DBCS:&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; Model 204 assumes the field contains both DBCS and EBCDIC data and that all DBCS characters are contained within balanced shift sequence pairs. (The shift sequences define whether a series of bytes is interpreted as DBCS or EBCDIC.)&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
When you use a pure or mixed DBCS %variable in an IFFIND statement, Model 204:&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ol&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Performs the appropriate data type conversions, following the conversion rules for assignment types.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Compares the pure and mixed DBCS fields.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ol&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
IFDECL declares only simple string variables. You cannot use IFDECL for arrays, ASCII, FLOAT, or BINARY strings, or for lists, labels, or subroutines.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
IFDECL is allowed only on Multi-Cursor IFAM threads.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
