Re: DBCS

[Charles Wilt <charles.wilt@xxxxxxxxx>]

I don't believe what you're asking for is possible....as the terminal
emulation software won't support mutliple languages at one.

At least not with Client Access for Windows or Rumba...

However, if you start using System i Access for the Web (the web
broswer based 5250 emulator) you should be able to do what you want.

Take a look here:

Pretty sure System i Access for the Web isn't licensed seperatly, your
Client Access license covers the Windows version or the Wen one.
