I suspect that the CCSID of your job and the users entering the data is 65535 ? What is the CCSID of the file ?

Subject: Re: Special characters conversion



Sorry for the confusion.

The users are entering the special characters into a display file and
saving back to the physical which stores the text. When they enter and
save a left bracket, the PF shows the cent sign with x'4A'. I'm not sure
why it becomes 4A. That's what has me confused. When I subsequently
inquire on the record from the display file, it displays correctly as a
bracket. Yes, I am not writing anything to my conversion file. I just
take the text character and lookup to my conversion file, the problem is
I read a cent sign from the text file but I have a left bracket as the
key field in my conversion file so I don't get a hit.
