I'll submit this as a Feedback) In: SC23-6878-60 DFSORT Application Programming Guide <https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/SSLTBW_3.1.0/pdf/icea100_v3r1.pdf > • Regular expression characters require code page (CCSID) IBM-1047. See Table 109 on page 833. But the table cited shows nog 1047 but 037. Accuracy matters. Not all RE control characters appear in that table.
