Strange behavior of special characters in IFS source files

I have a IFS SBCS source file that has CCSID 1252 and the characters:

// test @ æøå/ÆØÅ

2F2F2074 65737420 4020E6F8 E52FC6D8 C50D0A // test @ æøå/ÆØÅ

When I compile it on a CCSID 277 (danish) machine it becomes this in the
compiler list:

// test Ø {¦}/[@$

@ is in ASCII x'40', in ebcdic-37 x'7C' that in ebcdic-277 displays as Ø
Ø is in ASCII x'D8, in ebcdic-37 x'80' that in ebcdic-277 displays as @

Am I missing something or is it only a compiler print problem?
