We are on V7R3 currently (upgrading to 7.5 this month). Our system CCSID is 37. We are starting to get requests to allow accented characters like è in the database. What would we need to do to allow this?

My CCSID 37 database has no issues with Latin-1 accents.

Sorting and filtering might be an issue with your user community.
For example, É (EBCDIC x'74') sorts before A (EBCDIC x'C1').
