Hello friends,

The Subject Line pretty much sums up the question. We're converting our 
printers to Infopint Extended mode and discovered that our programs send a 
‘¢1B¢’ for the ESC character. It should be x'1B'. It appears that in the past 
under Basic mode the ‘¢' was ignored or used as a delimiter and the 1B was 
translated correctly to ESC.   Conversations with IBM suggested that because we 
use "Old-Style Translation" while in Basic mode the ‘¢1B¢’  is being translated 
incorrectly now that we're using Extended Mode. We stopped using Old-Style 
Translation but the problem remained. We could recode all our print jobs (which 
Apps is none too happy about) or we could write an exit (which Systems is none 
too happy about) but I would prefer to think there is a third alternative. Any 
ideas on how to get Extended to translate the ‘¢1B¢’ to 1B?

Many thanks.
