In particular, the 3270 Data Stream manual states (in a very oddly worded
fashon:
"All order codes have an EBCDIC value in the range hexadecimal 00 (X'00')
through hexadecimal 3F (X'3F').  Order codes with values in this range
but not defined in this chapter are rejected."

(EBCDIC value?  Oh, well.)  Also problematic would be any defined order
with an invalid argumment like a Repeat to Address with an address too
large for the device.

It's surprising to me that ANYTHING in the 00-3F range got through.
Anyway, any character displayed would be meaningless because these code
points are not associated with any characters in a 3270 datastream.

Must be a very forgiving emulator.
