EBCDIC

Table 1 shows the collating sequence for EBCDIC character (code page IBM-037) and unsigned decimal data.
  • Start of changeThe table is mapped on code page 037 and terminal type 3278.End of change
  • The collating sequence ranges from low (00000000) to high (11111111). The bit configurations that do not correspond to symbols (that is, 0 through 73, 81 through 89, and so forth) are not shown. Some of these correspond to control commands for the printer and other devices.

ALTSEQ, CHALT, and LOCALE can be used to select alternate collating sequences for character data.

Packed decimal, zoned decimal, fixed-point, and normalized floating-point data are collated algebraically. That is, each quantity is interpreted as having a sign.
