Appendix G  Character Sets and Collating Sequences 

Introduction 

The following tables list the ASCII and EBCDIC character sets and
collating sequences, and show the hexadecimal equivalent of the
characters.  A third column contains an X if the character is not
available as part of the recognized COBOL syntax.
[REV BEG]

See your COBOL System Reference for details of the ALPHASTART and
SYMBSTART directives, which set the number from which the compiler counts
position in the collating sequence.[REV END]

Table G-2  shows the IBM standard U.S. bit pattern assignments.  Some
characters have a different bit pattern in different languages, and these
are boxed within the table.
