Let me add a third option:
3. The LE runtime runs in the C locale with CP1047 by default.
You can tell it to do otherwiese with:
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=AOPBATCH,
// PARM='ENVAR("LC_ALL=De_DE.IBM-273")/sh'
Then AOPBATCH's shell will assume characters are encoded
in CP273, so x'EC' will be interpreted as '\'.
No need to fiddle around with hex mode, no need for iconv.
