I created a member with the following date using VISTA

ABCDEFGHIJKLMONPQRSTUVWXYZ
1234567890
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
!@#$%^&*()_+-={}[]:";'<>,.?/|\

----------------
Then I did an Asia transfer and this what I see on the PC --- Looks perfect

ABCDEFGHIJKLMONPQRSTUVWXYZ
1234567890
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
!@#$%^&*()_+-={}[]:";'<>,.?/]\

-------------------------------

Next I did a binary transfer and displayed with NEO hex editor on the PC

c1 c2 c3 c4 c5 c6 c7 c8 c9 d1 d2 d3 d4 d6 d5 d7
d8 d9 e2 e3 e4 e5 e6 e7 e8 e9 f1 f2 f3 f4 f5 f6
f7 f8 f9 f0 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 91 92 93
94 95 96 97 98 99 a2 a3 a4 a5 a6 a7 a8 a9 5a 7c
7b 5b 6c 5f 50 5c 4d 5d 6d 4e 60 7e c0 d0 ad bd
7a 7f 5e 7d 4c 6e 6b 4b 6f 61 4f e0


All looks correct to me.
Even the error MON instead of MNO came out perfect. ( my typo)

Are you sure you have the latest versions of the VISTA emulator and my
program

I am using the defaults for vista language settings -
I am pretty you sure you are in Italy

Are you using the default code pages or somethng different for the Italian.
Perhaps the error is in Vista in the code page.

Let me know?

Try it with X3270 if you have time?
