The first PoOps I saw contained an EBCDIC code map. I coded to it. The brackets printed wrong on our clone 3211 printer. I reported tis to my mentor, asking for a service report to the clone vendor. But he showed me a Reference Summary with two columns, one matching the PoOps; the other the Reference Summary.
WAD! Why!? Should I Imagine that originally EBCDIC had no btackets and two customer cultures improvised, independently? ISPF supports a plethora of code pages. I count 56: <https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/3.1.0?topic=string-regular-expressions-string1> ISPF supports various pairs of host and terminal code pages reasonably well,but I haven't found a UTF8-UTF8 combination. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
