These possible permutations; are you calculating (I admit I didn't do the math 
to figure it out) this based upon each character being able to represent 
a->z,A->Z,0->9,plus punctuation and special characters?

Or are you calculating based upon the severely reduced key-space that the 
AS/400 has implemented?
