RE: "Carrot" character in EBCDIC?

Actually, it's indeed x'5E' in ASCII, but it doesn't translate to a
semicolon.  The semicolon happens to be x'5E' in EBCDIC, but that doesn't
matter.

What matters is what EBCDIC hex value you get from your translation table
when you pass in an ASCII hex value of x'5E'.  The QEBCDIC table on the
iSeries returns x'5F', which is the "hooked overline" or NOT symbol.

Well it is a X'5E' in ascii and translates to a ';' in EBCDIC.
