I am at a loss. Have an Awk script that I need to run in the

Verify that the /special-characters/ were properly translated into the expected hex code point of the EBCDIC CCSID [assigned to, as an attribute] of the file that is being used as the script. The ^ symbol\character [SD150000 Circumflex Accent] and the ¬ character\symbol [SM660000 Logical NOT] could be problematic in some translations. The Dump (DMP) command will produce a spooled file QPSRVDMP with the hex data of a stream file (STMF), and the option 8="Display Attributes" against that STMF as chosen from the Work With Object Links (WRKLNK) will show the "Coded character set ID" that was assigned to the file.
