RE: Future of RPG was: Open Access for RPG

AFAIK that should be the problem if you compile the modules for the serviceprogram on the machine (or at a least a machine with the same ccsid) that will run the program, else it really is a problem.

I have had the same issue with RPGUI and it's use of { [ ] } for JSON
arrays - works great on many systems, but with some code pages it gets
translated incorrectly - and that is within compiled objects! (which
surprised me a bit)

I need to get around to asking Mihael to change it to be hex coded
into a constant or something.

The answer may be quite easy, because neither ! nor { } nor || is
international or the same in all EBCDIC, ASCII, UNICODE schemas.

I've already problems with Release 7.1 when IBM introduced Arrays where
brackets [] are used.
If I want to create an array on my system I have to type:

CREATE TYPE MySchema/MyIntArr
       AS INTEGER ARRAY ¬ 100 |  ;

(instead of Array [100])
Nice, isn't it?
