Is the "Ñ" an acceptable character for naming on the IBM i with that CCSID? If so, I don't see a problem. If not, that sucks b/c # is an acceptable character for naming in English so why isn't the "translated" character acceptable?

Luis - that's a good reason. It's really the only valid one I've ever heard, but it's a good one.
Thanks

Bob,
An issue could be that some characters "map" differently in other code pages. For example, your "#" must be translated to "Ñ" (a N with a tilde on
top) in our CCSID(284) (Spanish) system. Ugh...
