John, Are you suggesting there is a separate code page for
SDSF and ISPF. I'm using ISPF as an example here because the
raw data (pds)does show extended attributes when browsed.
Though I am by no measure an SDSF "expert", it appears there is; see
http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/isf4cs50/2.14.3
Other pages in that vicinity contain further explanation, but I'd guess
you have the default CP00037 in use. It appears you need CP00284 or
CP01145 for Spanish.
CP 37 contains all the characters necessary for Spanish (and German, French,
and several others) - in fact it contains exactly the same set of characters
that CP 284 does, but arranged slightly differently. CP 1145 is almost the
same as 284, but contains the Euro sign and a couple of other minor changes.
Of course character data has to be interpreted according to the encoding
convention used in the OP's country or geographic area. Although CP 37 is
commonly called the "US/Canada" code page, it is also used in Brazil, and a
few other places. And it is commonly used in the USA for Spanish characters.
I'd guess that SDSF has some assumptions somewhere about "printable" characters.
