Thanks Ed! That was just the detail needed. I contacted Tom Brennan and he told me how to fix Vista so that it returns the current code page translation to the host.
Vista V1.24 will return 037 by default unless you tell it otherwise. (In Vista V1.26 the default is the opposite). In Vista V1.24 find the vista.ini file (normally in c:\windows) and add: ReplyCodePage=1 Restart Vista. Tests after doing this show the following: Query Terminal Information - CHARACTER SETS 001B8185 8200070C 00000000 07000000 02B90116 0100F103 C30136 116x = 278d (Finnish CP-278) Also the value of ZTERMID - /* REXX */ ADDRESS ISPEXEC "VGET (ZTERMCID) SHARED" SAY "ENCODING IS" ZTERMCID EXIT ENCODING IS 00278 ---- Now what this actually is supposed to do, I still have to figure out. Just as a first test I tried putting $-sign into a member name and it failed as invalid...
