If I ISPF View a UNIX file tagged UTF-8 (1208), ISPF converts it for display to the code page of my emulator (TN3270 handshaking presumably tells it). The remaing two thirds is that emulators and 3270 data streams need to be Unicode-savvy.
Characters not in the emulator's cabability are transmitted as attribute bytes, but I believe they still appear correctly if I display hex. ISPF needs to do something smarter for hex display of MBCS. More rows for hex? And Find does poorly at placing the cursor. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
