<<SNIP>> In the US, that's mostly CCSID 37, US English EBCDIC.

BTW, many on this list have reported that they changed their system
CCSID from 65535 to something else in the middle of the day, without
shutting anything down, and suffered no ill effects.

But almost surely all of them were in the USA [effectively isolated and U.S.-centric already], not in Italy where they are unlikely to be similarly isolated and self-centered. So, as a warning to the OP... Perceptions of past results of unlike systems should not be the basis for decisions with an expectation of like results.
