Forgive my ignorance, but multi-language is not my forte.

Actually, you probably need to code the fields as Unicode (I believe that would be type "C" in RPG, but I'm not sure), and you would need a terminal (or emulator) that handles Greek EBCDIC, in order to see anything but "substitute" characters in terminal-based applications.

If there's such a thing as a Unicode 5250 data stream, I've never encountered it, even in documentation.
