Yes, but z/OS support multiple code pages. Not even the letters have unique encoding.

What happens if you translate your source to ISO-8859-1 or -15? -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

Much IBM literature uses "character" to mean what other cultures call "octet". And Unicode documentation shows several representations for characters, including hex. >What is 'D0'X?

That's x'c2 ac'. But when I copy/paste it, it looks OK on my desktop, but Regina gets syntax errors. I prefer documentation with usable examples. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
