Well, OK, if I must be exact about it I really meant ISO-8859-1, the Latin-1 
page -- but then if the FM writers meant ISO-8859-1 the FM would have (I hope) 
said so.  I should have just taken the FM at its word and said ASCII instead.

"... not potable ..." Good one! <vbg> indeed, thank you for lightening my day.

DC CA means ASCII; there is no ISO8859, only ISO-8859-x for various
values of x. HLASM does allow you to provide your own translate table,
but then the source code is not potable (sic <g>) to a different build
environment.
