The GUI and green screen are the same program - the AS400. I apologize for being ditzy on this but my knowledge of AS400 set up, programming, background, etc. is usage only. End user usage for that matter. I have considered the mismatch of charsets between the two programs - AS400 and MF (my program). The problem is - they're telling me that the characters were entered by the user. I can buy that to some extent but.. not when you have a set of characters that consistantly appear together with a differing amount of space between them. For example - if you consistently have a cent sign appear then a word (or several) then an exclamation mark.

The first thing I'd question is what is the user typing in, right? That question becomes more complicated when it's 50 users doing it and not just one. How do 50 users know to type an exclamation mark somewhere after they type a cent sign?
