REXX does not translate between ASCII and EBCDIC. The translation is
handled by your file transfer software, e.g., FTP, IND$FILE, and there
is no consistency.
>I've seen negation translated to "^".
And I've seen ! translated to a bracket. That doesn't make them the
same, or even equivalent, characters.
>The boolean AND is represented as "&".
No. Some languages use & for logical and, but that is a separate
issue. Check out any good book on Mathematical Logic and note the
symbols for AND and OR.
