Ok, let me try this: So I code some OMVS commands under //STDPARM DD *
using code page 37. ISPF knows the CCSID so the data on the screen is
translated to 1047 at submit time, before it gets to BPXBATCH. But,
that translation could only include data in the edit session since ISPF
would have no idea what code page was used for other data needed by the
job. And what happens when this new job needs to be run from CA7 or TWS
with no CCSID available?
Wouldn't it be easier for the user to switch their terminal to 1047
prior to working with USS? That's been the default for the last 20
years in at least one terminal emulator I know of.

What problem are you trying to solve?
For example, regular expressions in BPXBATCH stages for various terminal types.
A recurrent plaint here is, "My brackets don's work."

How about an RFE, I mean "Idea" that the ISPF SUBMIT command should
use that information to convert from the terminal code page to 037?
I hate EBCDIC!
Still.
