Could try creating a new workspace. That seems to be the WDSC/RDi
equivalent of "rebooting" :)

I have been using WDSCi 6.0 with IBM i 7.1 for a couple weeks now. Windows
XP. Yes, I know it is old, and unsupported, and I should upgrade, but I am
at a client, and they haven't done it yet. So today about mid-day it
started giving me an error when attempting to open a source file, that
error is: Unsupported Character Encoding. Character encoding "UTF-8" is not
supported by this platform.

I have tried shutting down and restarting WDSCi, I have tried rebooting.
No joy. I didn't make any changes to my environment, and I asked about the
i, and no changes were made there either.

One strange thing I noticed earlier before this all failed was that WDSCi
was having trouble writing to some metadata file. That might be assiciated.
And in my research, I noticed that the workspace is stored in the IFS. I
have no trouble opening the workspace files from green screen, they look
like XML files. I don't know where it is getting the UTF-8 character
encoding as my source files all have ccsid 37.
So I am stuck. Can anyone help?
