"The real 3279 APL codepage, as used by C/370. This codepage is very close to 1047, except that the caret and the not sign are inverted. Codepage 37-2 is not recognised by IBM, even though SHARE have repeatedly pointed out its de facto existence." I'm a bit confused, as the APL code page is 293, which is code page 037 overlaid with codepage 310 (APL/TN print train). This is what you get when you SET APL ON in CMS and what is documented (and shown) in the 3270 APL feature manual as well as the APL manual. (You must have base code page 037 configured in your emulator to see 293 with full fidelity.) 37-2 sounds like something more akin to code page 924. I've been using it for years, as the square brackets are where the C compilers want them rather than where the TN print train put them. You can see Code page 924 at http://www.vm.ibm.com/devpages/altmarka/cp924.jpg (that's XEDIT with SET APL OFF and SET TEXT OFF) I've been trying to stamp out non-standard code pages since the late 1990s when I did Euro enablement for VM TCP/IP. That's when I added nearly 200 EBCDIC-ASCII translation tables (TCPXLATE/TCPXLBIN files).
