Arriving without translation? From where? RSCS LPD? Or NJE? CMS LPR or PPS? Note that your table above assumes the file arrives in EBCDIC code page 37 or one if its close variants. (German EBCDIC code page 273, for example, is not a variant of 37...those characters are at different code points.) Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott
