Re: Hex codes in position 5 are being mangled

Hey Adam,

I've added it to the list of requirements for iSeries projects.

Thanks,

Good question. The encoding for a file or a container is something that

is

set at the underlying Eclipse platform level. I didn't see an option to

set

the default for the workspace on a quick tour through the preferences.
Anyone else see one? If not, we'll add this to the list of enhancement

for

iSeries Projects.

Worked like a charm.  Three cheers for Unicode!

To save searching through the prefs, is there a way to set the default
encoding for projects?  If you don't know offhand I can go pref-diving.

Thanks,
Adam

Try changing the project's text encoding to UTF-8. You'll find this

under

the project's properties -> info. It will probably say something like
"inherited from container (Cp1252)".
My guess is that you'll have to re-download the members that use the

hex

codes, but uploading them should then work if they are stored locally

using

UTF-8.

Round-tripping of the hex codes doesn't work if the local code page is
Cp1252 (in fact, it looks like they are changed on download). The hex

color

codes are problematic in general - since they are control characters

(5250

attributes) they fall outside of the range of most code page

conversions.
