Hi Simon,

As I noted to Scott - switching to O_CCSID fixed it - but it shouldn't  
have mattered since the system and job code pages were both 37.

I must study this whole CCSID/Code page stuff a lot more - everything  
I learnt while at IBM is either obsolete now or has escaped the  
confines of my aging brain.  Maybe when I meet up with Bruce Vining  
and Scott at Summit in a couple fo months I can get myself a fire-hose  
tutorial!
