I believe this also explains why it was so difficult for all of us to agree. We all have different expectations of how things should work.
You'd think it would be (ok _I_ would think it would be) all or nothing and not just used here and there. Makes me wonder. Will IBM get it all worked out so that everything understands the different code pages? Or will they go all Unicode? Or more of the same. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Edward Jaffe Sent: 12. heinäkuuta 2008 0:20 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: How to change the ISPF code page?

It was invented before the formalization of code pages. I believe some functions use them and some do not. IIRC, code page support was originally added in ISPF 4.1 in order to facilitate ASCII to EBCDIC translation for what was then called the ISPF GUI. -- Edward E Jaffe Phoenix Software International, Inc 5200 W Century Blvd, Suite 800 Los Angeles, CA 90045 310-338-0400 x318 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.phoenixsoftware.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
