The International Application Development manual provides information on
many, many code pages.  In 850 (PC Multilingual) x'AA' is the NOT sign,
which would correspond to x'5F' in 37 (USA/Canada).

Note that there are many ASCII and EBCDIC code pages.  Another "ascii"
would be 819 (ISO 8859-1) where NOT is x'AC'; another EBCDIC would be 273
(Germany) and x'BA'; but most likely x'5F' is what you're looking for.  (To
play it safe, if you do a DSPFD of your RPG source file what is displayed
for CCSID?  If 37, the x'5F')

I've a project spec that states

"the symbol preceding "CNTRI' is a "NOT' sign (shows a zero or O with a
line
through it) which is Hex AA"

I coded this in my rpg program as

 <<...OLE_Obj...>>
D   HEXAA                                    S
1             INZ(X'AA')

I team this up with a constant defined as CNTRI defined as prefix1

 <<...OLE_Obj...>>
C                                                          EVAL
BEG = HEXAA + PREFIX1

I was given "sample" output of what the client current receives now and the
hex character appears to be a lower case a with an underscore.   My D spec
translates to an inverted exclamation mark.  Someone mentioned that they
may
be different because one is ASCII and one EPSIDC ......

Is there a table(s) somewhere that I can look and verify that 'AA' is truly
what I want?  Apparently they don't have the redbooks or any other viable
resource materials here.
