You must specify the GRAPHIC option if you use DBCS variables or DBCS constants in GET and PUT statements for list-directed and data-directed I/O. You can also specify the GRAPHIC option for edit-directed I/O.

PL/I raises the ERROR condition for list-directed and data-directed I/O if you have graphics in input or output data and you do not specify the GRAPHIC option.
For information on the graphic data type, and on the G-format item for edit-directed I/O, see the PL/I Language Reference.
