When we highlight a data entry field with a number in it and perform COPY ie ctrl\\insert the field content displays as 2 chinese characters.

 

It did not do this with earlier versions of acucobol

I have not seen this. In either 10.1 or 10.2 are you setting COBOL_CHARACTER_SET and if so to what value?
