This is a well known distribution problem.
When you compile a program the hexadecimal values of characters
in the module is the value according to the source file CCSID.
If you have other sourcefiles with a different CCSID the hex
value will be different in the main program and because programs
communicates in hex this will never work.
To avoid this problem, the easy way is:
When you install, create new empty sourcefiles with the system
CCSID. Then copy the delivered sourcefiles to the new empty
sourcefiles (this will translate hex values) and recompile the
delivered service programs. The hex value will now be the same
in the service program that they will be in the main programs.

RE: Future of RPG was: Open Access for RPG
Typo:
AFAIK that should not be the problem if you compile the modules for the
serviceprogram on the machine (or at a least a machine with the same
ccsid) that will run the program, else it really is a problem.

I have had the same issue with RPGUI and it's use of { [ ] } for JSON
arrays - works great on many systems, but with some code pages it gets
translated incorrectly - and that is within compiled objects! (which
surprised me a bit)
I need to get around to asking Mihael to change it to be hex coded
into a constant or something.

The answer may be quite easy, because neither ! nor { } nor || is
international or the same in all EBCDIC, ASCII, UNICODE schemas.
I've already problems with Release 7.1 when IBM introduced Arrays where
brackets [] are used.
If I want to create an array on my system I have to type:
CREATE TYPE MySchema/MyIntArr
AS INTEGER ARRAY ¬ 100 | ;
(instead of Array [100])
Nice, isn't it?
