Allow Japanese ASCII ccsid 943 for zoned decimals

Added by Steve Hanson about 9 years ago

I will send an email out for this, but the essence is that 943 is not 100% ASCII compatible so it is not currently prohibited by the spec for zoned decimals. However a) there are only two code points x5C and x7E that are different, neither of which fall into any of the ranges used by the various overpunching sign styles; and b) Japanese users of IBM products are happily using 943 with zoned decimal data today.

Also noted several typos in this paragraph in the textZonedSignStyle description, so correct at same time:

"Used only when dfdl:encoding specifies an ASCII-derived character set encoding. That is when the printable character code points 0x20 - 0x7E are the assigned the same characters assame as in the US-ASCII encoding. This includes all the Unicode character set encodingss, and all variations of ASCII and ISO-8859."

Suggested words:

Used only when dfdl:encoding is an ASCII-derived character set encoding. The encoding must provide the character to single byte code point mapping used by the specified value of dfdl:textZonedSignStyle, as stated below.
