Again, entirely dependent on your/its selection of code page. There is a downside to use SET INPUT/SET OUTPUT: It doesn't apply when you FTP or do a 3270 File Transfer. You can run, but you can't hide. We used to run afoul of code pages less often, because we simply learned not to use symbols like '$' or '@'. (You DID know that not all code pages have @ at 0x7C, right? A major PITA.) But the data center consolidations and globalization in general have required us to become "code page aware". > Any codepage which presents "caret" for 5F is just flag wrong. [sigh] Now don't be offensive. :-) Most of the european code pages, including those for German, French, Portuguese, Italian, and Danish, use the caret for 0x5F.
