Re: Locales and regular expressions

[Tim Bronski <tim.bronski@xxxxxxxxx>]

Yes. I have strings in a known ccsid - 37. I'm trying to use a regular 
expression coded as a constant in a program - compiled as 37. At runtime 
the "constants" are being converted to the ccsid of the job and screw up 
my match (it's the [] chars primarily). I want to protect my constants 
from the runtime!
