We recently had a problem where a customer using a German codepage

why it does that. I much rather it stay in ASCII).
You mean ZTERMCID is 273? Does the ISO8859-1 file contain
characters with no representation in IBM-273?
By definition there are no characters in ISO8859-1 that are not in
IBM-273. All the so-called Western European Country Extended Code
Pages (CECPs) are encodings of the same character set that ISO-8859-1
encodes. So you're asking if the file tagged ISO8859-1 is invalid?
The characters are supported in all code pages. They are just in the
wrong code-point when translating between IBM-273 and ISO8859-1. I have
formed the opinion that the ISPF editor does no honor code pages
and only supports translation between IBM-1047 <-> ISO8859-1.
