437 is probably the MS-DOS codepage.  The Windows codepage is probably
1252.  I don't know how to look that up, though.  In my experience,
Windows does not use 437.

David, the numbers are the same.   Codepage is only one component of
CCSID, but they're almost always the same number unless you're using a
DBCS CCSID.  (or, at least, I've yet to see one that isn't)

So, no... 437 and 37 aren't the same thing.  (In fact, they're
significantly different, 437 is ASCII and 37 is EBCDIC)
