Code page conversion when the shell and MVS™ have different locales
A code page for a specific character set determines the graphic character produced for each hexadecimal encoding. The code page used is determined by the programs and national languages being used.
If the shell is using a locale generated with code pages IBM-1047,
IBM-1027, or IBM-939, an application programmer needs to be concerned
about variant characters in the POSIX portable character set whose
encoding may vary
from other EBCDIC code pages:
- Right brace (})
- Left brace ({)
- Backslash (\)
- Right square bracket (])
- Left square bracket ([)
- Circumflex (^)
- Tilde (~)
- Exclamation point (!)
- Pound sign (#)
- Vertical bar (|)
- Dollar sign ($)
- Commercial at-sign (@)
- Accent grave (`)
- Left square bracket: [
- Right square bracket: ]
