Hi
A Customer issue:
The DCL SERACH command
does not find the character whose ASCII is %xF0 (240 decimal).
He in Israel it is the Hebrew letter "NUN".
On any other Hebrew letter (ASCII 224 - 250) it works fine.
This works fine for ASCII (240) on OVMS-VAX 6.1 but not on
OVMS-ALPHA 6.1 and 6.2 and not on OVMS-VAX 6.2 .
Is SEARCH expected to work on multinational characters at all ?
Or Just on ASCII characters ?
Thanks
Zvi

Zvi, your question would likely attract an authoritative answer in the I18N
conference.. nonetheless I offer a possible workaround without
explanation :) :
<240> and its 'uppercase' partner, <208> are shown as "reserved" in the
standard DEC Multinational Character Set tables in the OpenVMS doc.
To look for <240> use /EXACT ,e.g.,
$ NUN=""
$ NUN[0,8]=240
$ SEAR file.ext "''NUN'" /EXACT

As, the (English) doc. is silent on this you should QAR the doc., but as
it's a Customer asking, you'll be IPMTing it no doubt..
John.
