I'm trying to do some Rexx programming on our mainframe and I am 
unable to find the proper key to produce a logical not in Rexx.
When I'm in Xedit on the mainframe, I type the following sequence:

if x^=0

In all the other 3270 emulators I've used, the carat symbol
translated to the not character in Xedit but here its not the
case.  Using the Xedit hextype command I get the following:

898640A7 B07EF0
 i f   x  " = 0

In previous files I've written, the proper sequence is the
following:

898640A7 5F7EF0
 i f   x  - = 0
							    ____
(actually the character corresponding to hex 5F looks like      | )

I am currently using an Xedit macro to get around this problem  but
what I was wondering was if this is a problem with PMANT or is 
Xedit improperly configured on the mainframe?
