Re: Brakets have wrong Hex code [] <--- these

Hi Brad,

    Probably the best solution (as someone else has already posted) is to
simply use a more appropriate table to do your translation.

Another approach (one that I've used, largely because I'm too lazy to
figure out what the right table should be) is to make a new table based
on the contents of QASCII, and simply change the translation.

this command should work:

CRTTBL TBL(MYASCII) SRCFILE(*PROMPT) BASETBL(QASCII)

HTH
