Probably the reason for this is some ASCII-EBCDIC conversion problem: Unix machines, including AIX machines, encode files in ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) character sets. Not so the IBM-hosts, as they traditionally use a different character set called EBCDIC (Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code).
Usually there is some sort of conversion table, which tells the conversion program what character number x is to be replaced with in the other character set. Probably this conversion table is faulty at the place of the pipe character. I would bet on "M-3" not being a 3-character string like its representation here in this text but in fact some single-char non-printable character.
You can either correct this conversion process or run sed (or tr) over the file to correct the characters:
Hi,
We have a DEC Alpha 4100 Server with OSF1 Digital Unix 4.0.
Can any one tell me, if there are any commands on this Unix which are equivalent to "top" and "sar" on HP-UX or Sun Solaris ?
I am particularly interested in knowing the CPU Load, what process is running on which CPU, etc.

Hi!
I've got a shell account on a FreeBSD machine. It doesn't have 'vim' installed, but only the original 'vi' text editor ("Version 1.79 (10/23/96) The CSRG, University of California, Berkeley.")

wcstol(3C)wcstol(3C)NAME
wcstol(), wcstoll(), wcstoul(), wcstoull() - convert wide character string to long integer
SYNOPSIS
Remarks
These functions are compliant with the XPG4 Worldwide Portability Interface wide-character formatting functions. They parallel the 8-bit
character formatting functions defined in strtol(3C).
DESCRIPTION
or converts the wide character string pointed to by nptr to or representation, respectively. or converts the wide character string pointed
to by nptr to or representation, respectively. The wide character string is scanned up to the first wide character inconsistent with the
base. Leading "white-space" wide characters (as defined by in wctype(3C)) are ignored. If no conversion can take place, zero is returned.
If base is greater than or equal to 2 and less than or equal to 36, it is used as the base for conversion. After an optional leading sign,
leading zeros are ignored, and or is ignored if base is 16.
If base is zero, the wide character string itself determines the base as follows: after an optional leading sign, a leading zero indicates
octal conversion; a leading or indicates hexadecimal conversion. Otherwise, decimal conversion is used.
If the value of endptr is not a pointer to the wide character terminating the scan is returned in the location pointed to by endptr. If no
integer can be formed, the location pointed to by endptr is set to nptr, and zero is returned.
Definitions for these functions and the type are provided in the header file.
EXTERNAL INFLUENCES
Locale
The category determines how wide character codes are interpreted.
International Code Set Support
Single- and multi-byte character code sets are supported.
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, both functions return the converted value, if any.
If the correct value would cause overflow:
returns or (according to the sign of the value), and sets to
returns and sets to
returns or (according to the sign of the value), and sets to
returns and sets to
For all other errors, zero is returned and is set to indicate the error.
ERRORS
and fail and is set, if any of the following conditions are encountered:
The value of base is not supported.
The value to be returned would have caused overflow.
