Chapter 23: IBM PC Character Set

Your IBM personal computer is capable of handling characters in addition to the standard ASCII characters. For the complete character set see the technical reference manual for your computer. All these characters can be used within your COBOL system. While you are in the COBOL Editor (available in an add-on product) these characters can be generated by holding down the Alt key and then keying a three-digit number on the numeric keypad. These characters together with their three-digit codes are listed on the following pages.

When you are using Forms these characters can also be generated by holding down the Ctrl key. These characters are then displayed across the bottom of the screen and you can then select the one you require. The chosen character is copied into your form at the current cursor position.
