Vantage unable to display £ symbol in filter

Issue/Introduction

We are currently having issues with vantage searching for datasets with £ as part of the qualifier.

Eg. XY££DSNZ.** 

Vantage requires it to be $$ instead, can you please provide info on how we amend parms to get this searching for ££

Resolution

Currently there is no settings in Vantage which would make £ work. The Vantage Storage Point web client supports code page 1047, and for the pound sign there is a difference in interpretation of the EBCDIC hex '5B' value as you can see in this code page 285 compared to Code Page 01047:

Using code Page 285, the £ has hex value 5B, but for code page 1047 the hex value 5B represents the $  character. There is currently no feature in Vantage StoragePoint to change the Code Page being used.

So Vantage web client requires the user to use $ character instead of the £ character to work.
