AW: Interactive logic-style question

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...

... and @ must be replaced with the paragraph § sign using the German Code Page (273)

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards
