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.
The ISPF editor does much better than that. But, in general, it's complicated:

I should have cited the , which shows more:

I don't think it does. I just edited a ISO8859-1 tagged file using 037
and inserted square brackets [].
What did ISPF HEX display show for the "[]"? What codes did
"od -tx1" on z/OS show after you Saved the file?
0xDD and 0xA8 which confirms my suspicion.
... When I edited the file using Vim the
square brackets had not been translated correctly.
On what platform did you run Vim?
I ran Vim on z/OS. It's part of the Rocket Ported Tools suite. It's uses
enhanced ASCII like all of the ported tools.
How did you transfer the file?
(FTP? IND$FILE? ...) What did "od -tx1" on that platform show as the []"?
I am almost 100% sure that ISPF only supports conversion from 1047. I'm
going to ask IBM.
And automatic conversion may deceive you. IBM fixed "od" by APAR
to not convert automatically by default. I'd be only slightly surpriseed
if the bug slipped back in.
