Thanks for the earlier correction on my language - I am indeed English. Explains why I couldn't reconcile the hex. I work for an American company as well, so I should have been more aware.
Anyway for the original problem, look at what has happened in your ISPF terminal type (under Menu;settings). For me if I set T3278A, the the sqare brackets display fine - my normal setting of T3277 displays them badly (in such a way that some screens might suppress). As well as those two, you could try SW500 to see if it makes a difference. You could post what your terminal type is set to to help.

Intrestingly hey show up just fine in OMVS. Here is a REXX EXEC that I use to show me my current code page: address ispexec vget (ztermcid) shared say "current encoding is" ztermcid exit The response is "current encoding is 01047". If I do a HEX display of the brackets it shows they are x'AD' (left bracket) and x'BD' (right bracket), which is correct for CP1047. The strangest thing at all is that it works for everyone else. I must have once upon a time changed something in my ISPF profile to cause this issue, but I have no idea what it was! Any ideas? Thanks!
