Isn't there a pragma tag codepage?
Yes, and we use it, but it doesn't help if you're using the ISPF editor
to view/edit source code written in a different code page to your
emulator setting. We're doing a lot
of JSON work right now and do everything in IBM-1047 before converting
to UTF-8.
I personally prefer to do everything in the UNIX file system where file
tagging solves the problem but most of our older products use PDS data
sets for source.

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.
