Maybe its me but I don't know if you have a tilda in the data or you hard coding in into the report?

If you are hard coding it have you tried the following:
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
COMPUTE FIELD01/A1 = '~';
COMPUTE FIELD02/A1 = HEXBYT(126, 'A1');
COMPUTE FIELD03/A7 = '&' || '#126;';
BY
     COUNTRY
END

In some layer on the way to your data coming back, it may be translating your character set to one that doesn't have a tilde. I don't know what that might be, or which layer (DB2 adapter, EDA layer, etc) that would be doing that. If you could trace the issue back, and see where the tilde gets replaced, maybe you could look at the NLS settings for that software.

I just tried putting a tilde in a MS SQL Server table and an Oracle table on my Windows XP PC and it displayed correctly.

As N.Selph mentions, it's prpbably happening at some other layer and probably due to DB2 being on a different platform to the WebFOCUS server. Perhaps it's a code page issue on the iWay server?

Is this happening only in HTML or other format too? Because I too had the same kind of problem but only in HTML. My problem was, not able to display the data like Total <<C Yr . It showed in html format as Total < .

I just used substring and concatenated it with space in between special character and C.

You could try using CTRAN function.
