WebFOCUS Language Considerations
If your application does not behave as expected, make sure your code complies with the following WebFOCUS language conventions:
- Double-Byte Character Sets
Limitations apply to certain WebFOCUS features that involve character input. For example, in a single report, you can enter a maximum of 32K characters for headings and footings.
If you are using a Double-Byte Character Set (DBCS), cut the limitation in half. Using the same example, a maximum of 16K characters from a DBCS is allowed for headings and footings in one report.
- Field Names and Aliases
Do not use the following characters in a field name or alias on a WebFOCUS Reporting Server running on z/OS (USS) or IBM i. WebFOCUS interprets each of these characters as the terminating dollar sign (hexadecimal 5B) used in Master Files, Access Files, and WebFOCUS StyleSheet files, causing unexpected results.
