Character set issue

Hi,



One of our developers has added the following code into a Cobol program using the LPEX editor.



01 WS01-TEST-CHARACTER PIC X.

88 WS01-VALID VALUE 'a' 'b' 'c' 'd' 'e' 'f'

'g' 'h' 'i' 'j' 'k' 'l' 'm' 'n' 'o' 'p' 'q' 'r' 's' 't'

'u' 'v' 'w' 'x' 'y' 'z' 'A' 'B' 'C' 'D' 'E' 'F' 'G' 'H'

'I' 'J' 'K' 'L' 'M' 'N' 'O' 'P' 'Q' 'R' 'S' 'T' 'U' 'V'

'W' 'X' 'Y' 'Z' '0' '1' '2' '3' '4' '5' '6' '7' '8' '9'

'!' '"' '£' '$' '%' '^' '&' '*' '(' ')' '€' '_' '-' '+'

'=' '[' '{' '}' ']' ';' ':' '@' "'" '#' '~' ',' '<' '>'

'.' '?' '/' '¬' '`' '¦' '\' '|' ' '.



When he looked at the source member, using Rumba, some of the characters have changed.



01 WS01-TEST-CHARACTER PIC X.

88 WS01-VALID VALUE 'a' 'b' 'c' 'd' 'e' 'f'

'g' 'h' 'i' 'j' 'k' 'l' 'm' 'n' 'o' 'p' 'q' 'r' 's' 't'

'u' 'v' 'w' 'x' 'y' 'z' 'A' 'B' 'C' 'D' 'E' 'F' 'G' 'H'

'I' 'J' 'K' 'L' 'M' 'N' 'O' 'P' 'Q' 'R' 'S' 'T' 'U' 'V'

'W' 'X' 'Y' 'Z' '0' '1' '2' '3' '4' '5' '6' '7' '8' '9'

'!' '"' '[' '£' '%' '¢' '&' '*' '(' ')' ' ' '_' '-' '+'

'=' '^' '{' '}' ']' ';' ':' '@' "'" '#' '¯' ',' '<' '>'

'.' '?' '/' '¬' '`' '¦' '\' '|' ' '.



The differences are highlighted in red.



I’m not sure if this is an issue with Rumba, WDSC or the iSeries.



Does anyone know why this is happening and more importantly how to stop it?
