Support of alternate code points

The following alternate code points are not supported by z/OS® V2R2 XL C/C++:
  • X'8B' as alternate code point for X'C0' (the left brace)
  • X'9B' as alternate code point for X'D0' (the right brace)

These alternate code points are supported by the C/370™ and AD/Cycle C/370 compilers (the NOLOCALE option is required if you are using the AD/Cycle C/370 V1R2 compiler).

For more information about using coded character sets and locale functions, see z/OS XL C/C++ Programming Guide.
