It wasn't on the original 3270 keyboard. When I worked in connecting 
ASCII terminals to VM where you put it in EBCDIC was always a topic for 
debate. Check your code page settings in the Hercules and also those in 
your 3270 emulator. I use PCOMMS with code page 1047 and it puts {} on 
hex AD & BD which I think is the "modern" (i.e. the one the IBM C
  Compiler) expects standard.
