RE: CPYTOSTMF character translation (fwd)

It sounds like the UK box is using a different translation table than the US
box.  This actually makes sense, since the "$" glyph on a European keyboard
generates a different ASCII value (I wouldn't be surprised if it was 9B).

Do a WRKTBL TBL(QASCII) on both machine and check the entry for EBCDIC 5B.
On your US machine, you will see it converted to ASCII 24, but you may see
9B on the UK machine.  I'm not sure that this is the right table, but it's a
place to start.
