PLI ¬ character z/OS to RTC ^ to z/Build ^

Hello,

We are converting from SCLM z/OS source  control to RTC source control.

1. We used zimport to copy source into RTC. The not character ¬  changed to ^.
I have US-1047 in the USS profile where zimport executes  and UTF-8 in the RTC workspace preferences.

2. Doing a zBuild of the source. The PLI source is copied back to z/OS with the ^ sign.
Anyway to get it converted back to ¬ ?

The reason is that the DB2 pre-compiler  does not like for example ^EOS or ^ character in front of a variable or expression.  Here is the DB2 pre-compiler error message.
DSNH007I E     DSNHTOKR LINE 2641 COL 28  ILLEGAL CHARACTER IGNORED: " " ('3F'X)

The ^= (not equal) is ok. I am aware of the NOT(^¬)  PLI parameter but there is no DB2 precompiler option that I can see.

Any ideas on the code page settings in USS, RTC, PC-host , etc would be greatly appreciated.
