- I'm trying to do some Rexx programming on our mainframe and I am
- unable to find the proper key to produce a logical not in Rexx.
- When I'm in Xedit on the mainframe, I type the following sequence:
-
- if x^=0
-
- In all the other 3270 emulators I've used, the carat symbol
- translated to the not character in Xedit but here its not the
- case. Using the Xedit hextype command I get the following:
-
- 898640A7 B07EF0
- i f x " = 0
-
- In previous files I've written, the proper sequence is the
- following:
-
- 898640A7 5F7EF0
- i f x - = 0
- ____
- (actually the character corresponding to hex 5F looks like | )
-
- I am currently using an Xedit macro to get around this problem but
- what I was wondering was if this is a problem with PMANT or is
- Xedit improperly configured on the mainframe?
