Yeah, and on my PC there is a similar issue with ¬ (Logical Not); is it AA or AC? That's a major issue if you/re coding PL/I or REXX.

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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
