  The terse VAX character set question dept 
 The Question is:
 
What is the code page or character set of the  VAX file system? Thanks.
 
 The Answer is:
 
  Literal answer:  None.  VAX is hardware, and has no file system.
 
  Probable answer: OpenVMS files contain data, and there are no particular
  character set requirements for the data.  Binary data, single-byte
  character data, and multi-byte character data are all permitted.
 
  Typical OpenVMS filenames can use the ASCII, ISO Latin 1, or Unicode
  character sets, and various foreign file systems are either supported
  directly, or support can be added in.
