This problem is very solvable but the solution utterly depends on the
details.
What exactly do you mean by "when other people load this"?
I'm also not sure exactly why you are using circumflex for logical not
rather than for XOR.
I use common source code across Windows and z/OS all the time, so I am
something of a small-scale expert on this topic. I compile the same source
code (translated ASCII<->EBCDIC) in both places, and transfer it from one
place to the other using Ipswitch WS_FTP 12. I have no translation problems
such as you describe whatsoever, so this problem is solvable.
You can configure your ASCII and EBCDIC code pages in your FTP server
(SBDATACONN and SBTRANS), you can specify a custom translate table on the
session (SITE SBDATACONN or XLATE), and at compile time (LOCALE).
You can also use digraphs ("xor") instead of "funny" characters in your
source code.

Subject: How to load logical load x'ac'
Hi all
I edit my sourcecode base in ASCII (where it comes from) and I replace the
circumflex (^) that C loves with logical not (x'AC' in ASCII) that the
mainframe C requires. Then I load the thing to the mainframe with wc2370
which defaults to codepage 037 and my mainframe session happily shows
logical not (¬ = x'5F').
When other people load this, it becomes something like comma (,). How could
I convince all flavors of EBCDIC and EBCDIC upload to recognize logical not
correctly?
