The default here was 037 on the supplied ibm personal communications emulator, but that can be easily changed in the settings.

(What a question!) We use codepage 037. I observe that OMVS apparently uses code page 1047. I say this because if I use code page 037 and go in to OMVS and type "java" I see on my screen: Usage: java Ý-options¨ class Ýargs...¨ If I switch to code page 1047 I then see the expected: Usage: java [-options] class [args...] Is there any way to get OMVS to show the brackets correctly if I am using code page 037? And what about C source code? (And Java for that matter.) We are not a C shop, but I can imagine that some day we might try a little Java. How do I use ISPF to edit Java source code and have the brackets turn out in a way that Java can recognise it? And is there any way to convert C source code examples to code page 037? For example, CEE.SCEESAMP(EDCCICS) has the following line: extern "COBOL" void CUCICS(unsigned short *len, char (* running)[80]); It looks fine if I have my terminal set to code page 1047, but not code page 037. Did we do something wrong when we installed z/OS? What's up?
