Open SQL in Unicode Programs

When work areas are used in Open SQL statements, in non-Unicode programs, their structure is not taken into account. Only the length and the alignment are checked.

In Unicode programs, for structured work areas the Unicode fragment view must be correct, and elementary work areas must be character-type.
