Hmmm... well, one advantage to 937 is that it uses code page 37 for
single-byte EBCDIC, and that's the one that you most likely desire
(since that's what the USA uses for EBCDIC).

Does it matter?  I would think the best option would be to match the
CCSID of the source file it was compiled from...but there doesn't seem
to be anyway to find that out using DSPPGM, or DSPOBJD.

Weird.  I never noticed that before...   It does show that information
for ILE programs, but not OPM.

Also curious if I'll run into issue coping the retrieved source into a
CCSID 37 source file...

That would depend on whether any Chinese characters were used in the
source...   if not, then you should be fine.
