Martin Truebner noted:
Here is my sore point
MVI CHAR,C'a' move in a lower case a
works.
But
MVI CHAR,CA'a' move in an ASCII lower case a
nor
MVI CHAR,CE'a' we want an EBCDIC lower a regardless of codepage
DO NOT WORK.
I understand the reasoning, but I have yet to find a codepage (in ASCII
or in EBCDIC) where anything result in a two (or more) character-code.
Using non-EBCDIC character self-defining terms requires a different pair of
options: TRANSLATE (which defaults to ASCII, but you can create any
translate table you like) and COMPAT(TRANSDT) <I think -- memory is a bit
fuzzy on the precise form>.
TYPECHECK is used for entirely different purposes.
