You can access a table of EBCDIC codes from most terminals. Go to the sign-on screen and press the TEST key (usually this has to be done in conjunction with the ALT key). This will sign on the terminal in test mode. Take option 1 (display verification), then option 2 (displayable characters). This will bring up a table of all displayable characters, cross-referenced by EBCDIC code as shown in 7. By using this display you can see that the hex value for the caret symbol (^) is B0.

Another way to determine hex values is with a REXX procedure. Enter the following code into a source member, then run it using the Start REXX Procedure (STRREXPRC) command.
say 'Enter character value' pull char say 'The hex value is' c2x(char)
Just enter a character (or string of characters) and press Enter to convert them to hexidecimal.
