The display file ccsid is 37, chrid *JOBCCSID. The text file's field
ccsid is 37.
The interactive session is Coded character set identifier 65535, Default
coded character set identifier 37.
The CHGTELNA shows ccsid of *MULTINAT.

I have to admit I cannot find where the CCSID of the *PGM is displayed.

OK....I believe I found the problem.

The data is being entered through a screenscraper product that uses a
telnet session under the covers. When I look at the data in the telnet
session it displays as entered, in my example a left bracket. When I
look at it through a client access 5250 session, it is shown as the cent
sign.
The telnet ccsid attribute is set to *MULTINAT. It must be doing the
conversion through telnet.
I'm not sure how to get around this though. The data I ultimately
process is a cent sign.
Any ideas?

Thanks,
- Steve
