The ID (now CDD) folks had years ago made us refer to @,$,# as "special characters" rather than as "national characters".
It is disappointing that they did not change the publications to be consistent with that directive. By all means point out the discrepancies that you spot. I'll bet that any change would be from "national" to "special" (not the other way around). I have no idea what term they will decide to use for the JCL characters that they currently call special.
