Depending on code page (and I had to study EBCDIC code pages in some depth
when
coding our emulator, and still have the multicolor-highlighted charts),
neither
vertical bar nor divided vertical bar are in the "invariant" portion
of the
5250 EBCDIC character set: for the US/Canada/Netherlands code page,
vertical
bar is 4F, while divided vertical bar is 6A; for the Multinational
code page,
vertical bar is BB, divided vertical bar is 6A, and exclamation
point is 4F.
On other code pages, vertical bar follows either the US or
Multinational
convention, but divided vertical bar jumps around (or in some
cases is absent
entirely).

The charts, by the way, are from the
(unfortunately not recently revised) 5250
data stream manual.

And as to
my printing issues, I'm looking for a way to render HTML into a spool
file,
using either IPDS, or APF, or the OfficeVision extensions to SCS, (I
don't
care which as long as I can make it work) without customers needing to
have
host servers (to do it in Java using Toolbox classes, and yes, I've got a

query on the Java list) running, or the apparently rather costly APF Toolbox

APIs (to do it in ILE C) installed. And I'm getting seasick with the
constant
swinging back and forth between Java and C. Since MI isn't
involved, it's kind
of off-topic for the MI list, so perhaps you should
contact me privately if
you can
help.
