So your problem is with neither REXX nor with CP852 - it's presumably with some bad translation table in your FTP or TN3270 or... The problem is not at the client side (ASCII codepages); the problem is that the EBCDIC codepages in Europe have the exclamation point (!) at the place, where the American EBCDIC has |, and so, if you transfer from an European EBCDIC codepage (273, for example), which is standard here in Europe, you will get exclamation points instead of | on the PC.

All of the mentioned CPs contain both the | and ! characters, so any translation that changes one character to another is wrong. (I understand some historic reasons for intentionally mistranslating - mostly because various terminals could not enter or display certain characters. But in the days of terminal emulators, there is surely no longer any excuse.) Yes and no. It can be fixed by customization of translation tables. At least for REXX code. However it will break translation of regular text with punctuations. So, one has to choose: REXX or regular text. More the responsibility of terminal emulator user is to ...use it. When installing PCOMM I have no customization questions with regard to translation tables - installation program recognize my Windows locale and follow it. After I installed PCOMM, Nexus or other emulator I can use IND$FILE or simply copy-paste. Both methods work - the EBCDIC text is translated to ASCII and vice versa. Almost all characters. A, B, C, space - it will be translated correctly. However exclamation mark and | will not be translated as REXX code require. Can I change translation tables for the above processes? Yes, at least in PCOMM I remember how to do it. But this is quite nonstandard operation. Last but not least: there is still need to recognize the purpose of transmitted content - is it REXX code or just a text. That's why I strongly prefer to use XMIT format for REXX sources.

I _did_ find a parenthentical comment in the book "z/OS MVS Programming: Assembler Services Guide", in the section titled "Linkage editor and binder support of AMDOE and RMODE", in the sub-section of "Linkage editor RMODE processing". It says: The linkage editor determines the RMODE of each CSECT. If the RMODEs are all the same, the linkage editor assigns that RMODE to the load module. If the RMODEs are not the same (ignoring the RMODE specification on common sections), the more restrictive value, RMODE 24, is chosen as the load module's RMODE. So - it seems any RMODE specification on a common section (empty or not, I suppose) is ignored. I didn't (yet) find a similar statement about AMODE...
