RE: Up arrow character

Our users use WINAPPC 5250 emulator.  I tried what you suggested and I
got a small reverse image blank character.  I guess this emulator does
not support unicode.  :(.

There is no upwards arrow in the traditional 5250 EBCDIC data stream.
You can however use the upward arrow in a 5250 based application in
conjunction with an emulator such as iSeries Access for Web.  iSeries
Access for Web allows you to use Unicode in the 5250 data stream.  In
Unicode the upwards arrow is u'2191' so the following *DSPF and RPGLE
*PGM would output an upward arrow:

     A          R RECORD 
     A            DATA          10G     3 20CCSID(13488) 

fprompt    cf   e             workstn 
C                   eval      data = u'2191' 
C                   exfmt     record 
C                   eval      *inlr = *on 
C                   return

Up arrow character






Is there a hex value that will cause 5250 to display an upward arrow,
much like the MS directory-list window where one can click on to go up
one level?
