I believe that x'4D' and x'5D' are the CP1047 standard brackets. (x'AD'

com.ibm.pcomm.doc/reference/html/hcp_reference27.htm which seems to
confirm that.
Ah! Maybe part of the problem is language. In [American] English:
( and ) are parentheses
{ and } are braces (not "curly braces", just "braces")
[ and ] are brackets (not "square brackets", just "brackets")
Of course, common usage does not always apply the same precision.
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?
