COPY ... REPLACING statements using non-COBOL characters

Some non-COBOL characters in library text or COPY ... REPLACING statements are treated differently depending on the setting of the CMPR2/NOCMPR2 option.

Non-COBOL characters are the EBCDIC characters outside the legal set of COBOL characters, excluding nonnumeric literals. Nonnumeric literals can contain any character within the character set of the computer.
