Note: Due to translation table issues between IBM i and PC platforms (ASCII/EBCDIC), using 5250 terminals or 5250 emulation mode terminals users should be very careful when using the ^= Compare not equal expression, which can be presented as ^= or ¢= or ¬= depending on the terminal/keyboard used during edit. Use the *NE expression instead. |
