Some compilers require special characters and use a different code page for their files than the rest of the z/OS machine. APL has a bunch of characters and PLI uses a few different characters. Is C affected? Might be fixed for compilers since the mid 1990s, but I remember someone having the problem within the last three years. And the problem will not be in UTF-8, but could be the translation over.
