The Character £ in Z/OS is converted into $

Products

• Endevor

Issue/Introduction

The Character £ in Z/OS is converted into $ in the GIT Code set after sync/initialization with B4G.

Environment

Endevor Web Services - All release

BR4G  - All release

Cause

User's Emulator codepage setup is different than Endevor.cfg file 

Resolution

Ensure that the codepage, which is defined with the 3270 emulator, is able to translate the Euro sign.

For example if a user has 285 set in their emulator, the Endevor.cfg file  should use cp285 as the encoding.

 

 

Additional Information

In ISPF EDIT, if you set "hex on" for a report that contains a Euro sign, and something other than a x'9F' is displayed, then the problem is not with IDE, but instead with the emulator being used.
