I've not played with code pages and assembler so far, so I may be missing HLASM options. The assembler doesn't care for a locale, does it? So the backslash on the CLI will not be changed during execution, irrespective of any locale that may have been set in the LE (assuming this is LE enabled assembler code). BPX1RED does not translate what it reads (except in the context of autoconvert), does it? So, changing the locale does not have any influence in what you get in your buffer.
