Hi:
Generally, the FILE PRINT technique is not the technique recommended for use with the Output Delivery System. Instead, as per this Tech Support Note, FILE PRINT ODS is the recommended technique.

With ODS, techniques like PUT @1, PUT @15, etc do not work as expected or in the same manner as they do with LISTING output.

However, on a Windows system, using FILE PRINT ODS techniques, I was able to print the accent marks in a title, a footnote and a column header using the program code below.
