Re: Variant characters in source-code (was: Interactive logic-style question)

Luis,

It appears that the RPG compiler does not care about CCSID.

I created a source file with CCSID 284, copied a member (with lots of
#-names) to it and tried to compile. According to the compiler listing all
the #-names have turned into Ñ-names and are invalid. If I edit the file
(SEU or LPEX) and change all the #'s to Ñ's, the editor complains, but the
RPG compiler is happy. If I copy the member with FMTOPT(*NOCHK) all the
#-names show Ñ, which the editors don't like, but the compiler does.

Chuck,

Both, my system (V5R3) and my job are running under CCSID(284). To be

sure,

I just created a new PC5250 session and made sure it was running under
CCSID(284)
and created a new library and source file that shows, sure enough,

aCCSID(284)

under DSPFD.

Tried #FIELD: Got a RNF3301 . Loosely translated it states that the

"Name

entry is not valid".
Tried ÑFIELD: No errors.

What am I missing here?

Regards,

Luis
