To begin, I'll admit that I'm not that familiar with double-byte systems/environments.
We are currently maintaining JDE World source code for multiple countries in a single-byte development environment.
We have discovered that when we move source code from the single-byte system to a double-byte system that we have to change some of fields in the DDS to be of the data type 'O' (Open) instead of 'A'(Alphanumeric) and re-create the files and programs in the double-byte environment in order to work properly.
My question is this:
Can we just use the data type 'O' for alphanumeric fields in BOTH the single-byte and double-byte systems, or will this cause a problem on the single-byte system?
This would save having to make the changes to the DDS when distributing code to the double-byte system...
