I think this is determined by your terminal characteristics.
Try "tso help terminal" and look for the parameter CHAR. This gives you the possibility to use another character within your rexx program which will then be displayed as '{' for example.
I've tried "tso terminal char((c'{',x'4d'))". Afterwards my rexx program issued "say '(' " which led to "{" beeing displayed.
Issuing "tso terminal nochar" resets the terminal characteristics again.

Hope this helps.
