Different code page? The square bracket is one set of items that are different
between the 2 primary EBCDIC codepages.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] Strange results for the PS1 prompt with z/OS Unix
I am confused and am throwing out a Hail Mary for help. Here is the situation.
Two cloned LPARs. (same sysres and unix root file systems)
On system 1 - the /etc/profile has a PS1 of
export PS1="[\\u@\\H \\W \\@]\\$ "
On system 2 - the /etc/profile has a PS1 of
export PS1="[\\u@\\H \\W \\@]\\$ "
Why YES they do look the same... at least they do to me.
-=-=-=
The results however are very different.
On system one the displayed PS1 is
[TECH905@jismvs_test ~ 11:26 AM]$
On system two the displayed PS1 is
[\u@\H \W \@]$
-=-=-=-=
I am using the same SHELL program in my environment. (/usr/bin/bash)
Anybody have any ideas why the two different LPARs are reading the same string
but interpreting it in two different ways?
My suspect is some dark secret settings in the Unix file system. Total Guess
