*NAME 'Naming within commands' rules under various CCSIDs

[yl_...@yahoo.com]

The allowed characters for *NAME strings looks clear; however, I can
find no information regarding how CCSID affects the *NAME rules. Do I
keep the same graphic character mapping or do I keep the CCSID 037
mapping.

For example, the @ character in CCSID 037 maps to hex 0x7C; however the
@ character in CCSID 273, German, maps to hex 0x5B. So, when running
on an iSeries under OS/400 do I use the @ symbol or the German
character (that my American keyboard will not produce) that represents
the hex value 0x7C?

Try to replace @ though § in the German version. (We always have this
problems with source codes from american machines where @ is used)

Please, I really need to make sure I get this correct. If I switch my
machine to the German code page 273 and want to create a file, which in
the US/English code page would be FILE@123, I would instead type
FILE§123.
