What's the history of IBM-1047? Why does it seem to be controversial? Does it have the same set of printable glyphs as IBM-037 or IBM-500? What need impelled it?
Good question! Do you know the answer? And don't get me started on the line-feed/newline x'15' fiasco!
I use IBM-1047 for the projects I work on because I work in z/OS UNIX but other teams use IBM-037 because that was the default in their terminal emulators many years ago. We've got C/C++ code with different square brackets depending on the project which is incredibly annoying if the source is in a PDS so it can't be tagged. IDE's like RD/z (or
whatever it's called now) do a good job solving code page hell. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
