IBM Personal Communications also provides IBM-1047. I use the TSO Latin-1 terminal setting (28. 3278L1) with it and it works correctly.

We use BlueZone from Rocket Software and it supports both. Just to double check, look for Latin 1 in your settings.

Dear Emulator Specialists, My Square Brackets disappeared and my Java won't compile. I am using Attachmate Reflections for IBM 14.1.422 SP3. I changed from US ENGLISH (037) to US ENGLISH (1140 Euro) to get my Square Brackets. IBM says I need EBCDIC IBM-1047. I also went into Setup > View Settings > C/370 Character Set and set it from NO to YES. I can get Square Brackets to display w/US ENGLISH (1140 Euro), but I can't get Java to compile it. "C is another problem child. It uses funky characters like the square brackets '[]', curly brackets '{}' and broken vertical bar '|'. These move around (or disappear) depending on your code page. But with C there's another catch: it's designed to use EBCDIC 1047, not EBCDIC 0037." "So why is C designed for EBCDIC 1047? Because z/OS Unix Systems Services (USS) is also designed for it." "When IBM created USS for z/OS, it makes sense that it had to work in EBCDIC. The POSIX standard for UNIX doesn't require the use of ASCII, and z/OS is an EBCDIC operating system. IBM really didn't have a choice." "The problem is that UNIX, and its core programming language C, rely on characters that don't exist in some EBCDIC codepages. EBCDIC 1047 is designed to include all the characters USS needs - effectively all the characters from Extended ASCII: ISO8859-1. So EBCDIC 1047 is the default EBCDIC codepage used in USS. All parameter and help files are usually supplied in EBCDIC 1047, the C compiler expects code in EBCDIC 1047, and all UNIX file contents default to EBCDIC 1047. If you decide to use something else, they may look a little funny." I have been working with IBM to figure out why my Java won't compile. They said "Double Check your code page to see it is indeed codepage 1047 (mine wasn't), and make sure your Square Brackets are x'AD' and x'BD' (mine were not, but they did display brackets with US ENGLISH 1140 Euro). I am not able to select EBCDIC IBM-1047 with my emulator. Q). Can anyone suggest a vendor who's tn3270 solution includes EBCDIC IBM-1047? When I look at the Web pages I see they support IBM 3270 TCP & SNA, but I don't get much for details on the codepages supported. The other solution could be just to telnet directly to USS and use VT100. I have heard of people doing this. Any suggestions? Probably need a VT100 emulator.
