This dose not help you solve your problem but something I always see. I have seen many sites using Arabic on the mainframe and I always expect to see the same problem come up (and normally do) it's with two letters I think there called elle and phlam. Anyway, when put together they are one letter so when reversing the text, these letters don't get reversed. I always call on a friendly Arab to look at the problem and I get away quick.

There is quite a bit of work to do for zOS to support Arabic, such as ISPF/PDF screens being displayed in Arabic, DB2 and WAS in Arabic but it can be done. To set up yout PCOMM session to edit from right to left: 1. Select 420 Arabic Speaking as the host code page in the Customize Communication panel. 2. Select Arabic Speaking as the keyboard layout. 3. In the Select Display Font panel, choose ARB3270 at the Automatic Sizing list box or at the Fixed size font selection. 4. In the API Settings panel, select 864 as the DDE/EHLLAPI PC code page. 5. Choose Typing Arabic as the font in the Page Setup panel. And you can by pressing a combination of keys switch around.
