Spot on Fred, thanks.  Our AS/400s are actually set up to use CCSID 37
(for reasons that I've never understood) but my PC keyboard is set as
UK.  So if I either type a £ (pound currency symbol) instead of $, or
change my job to CCSID(285), I get the desired result.

However, I still don't see a value for $CLASSPATH, despited the fact
that using WRKENVVAR I do see a value for that variable (at both job and
system levels).  I note that the environment variables have a CCSID
value, but changing it doesn't improve the situation.  Any ideas?

Cheers,

Martin.
