The only exceptions I know of is that using a

fail because they assume ASCII or Latin-1 encoding.
Thank you for your help.
I don't have access to an EBCDIC system (and these days, they are quite
rare), but if you encounter any bugs, feel free to report them.
They're more common than one might think. The popular IBM AS/400 (oops,
nowadays "iSeries") is EBCDIC as are the IBM z/VM and z/OS operating
systems. A question about porting Open Object Rexx (http://www.oorexx.org/)
to z/OS sent this here GNU-ist scurrying to you for answers!
