This can be one of the most confusing things to troubleshoot. You really have to think carefully and clearly. One says "I have a hex xx in my dataset and it is displaying incorrectly as a 'y'." There are so many places it could be going wrong. The z/OS component could be using the wrong (from your point of view) CCSID. Or the character could be right on z/OS but your emulator is translating it to the wrong (from your point of view) ASCII character. Or the ASCII character could be right from your point of view, but your Windows (or Mac or Linux) code page could be such that the "right" ASCII character displays as the wrong graphic.
BTW, the standalone character '~' is a tilde. The little thing on top of a Spanish Ñ or ñ (hope those come through correctly) is properly called an enye (EN-yay). It's shorthand for a double n -- it's a little n parked on top of the main n. Señor is shorthand for what was once properly spelled Sennor.

No. It's a tilde. On my keyboard it's the shift character on the key left of the '1' key. > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
