If I look at an EBCDIC Character Set chart I see non-keyboard

it shows some of the characters, and allows them to be assigned to a key
stroke, but , at least for me, it does not appear on the screen when
typed. However something does happen because when I close the member,
it warns me that there is an invalid character.

So much depends on exactly which EBCDIC chart you were looking at, what
your CCSID is on the IBM i side and what language your PC is set to.

Are you looking to write multilingual RPG programs? Hard coding
literals may not be the best choice. If you post over on the main list,
Bruce Vining will probably chip in with some really good ideas.
