I believe that x'4D' and x'5D' are the CP1047 standard brackets. (x'AD' and x'BD' are square brackets). I looked on http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/pcomhelp/v5r9/index.jsp?topic=/ com.ibm.pcomm.doc/reference/html/hcp_reference27.htm which seems to confirm that.
I changed my code page in Extra! to 1047 (was 0037) - the exec confirmed ISPF had taken the switch, and in ISPF, my standard parentheses did show as x'4D' and '5D'(when I switched back to 0037, the x'AD' and x'BD' did not show as square brackets any more. We do not provide any override in our ISPF defaults table - maybe your site does? Best regards, David Tidy Tel:(31)115-67-1745 IS Technical Management/SAP-Mf Fax:(31)115-67-1762 Dow Benelux B.V.

Intrestingly hey show up just fine in OMVS. Here is a REXX EXEC that I use to show me my current code page: address ispexec vget (ztermcid) shared say "current encoding is" ztermcid exit The response is "current encoding is 01047". If I do a HEX display of the brackets it shows they are x'AD' (left bracket) and x'BD' (right bracket), which is correct for CP1047. The strangest thing at all is that it works for everyone else. I must have once upon a time changed something in my ISPF profile to cause this issue, but I have no idea what it was! Any ideas? Thanks!
