Danny,
I have ran into that before, myself....
It is usually when the source has special characters in the source, below hex'40' (space-bar)...
Sometimes cutting & pasting from another application, I notice "Tab-Characters" in the source....
I usually use my favorite quick & fast Editor "NotePad++" to convert "Tabs" to Spaces...
(Or use the editor of your choice...)
Sadly, on Windows 7, you no longer see the invalid characters inside the editor, due to Window 7/8 changes...
<frown>
You might want to do a DSPPFM to see the special characters in your source file....
I have often done that myself....
I wrote an utility program to convert Below hex '40' to convert to blanks...
I just use the ExtFile File key (Instead of OVRDBF) and %XLATE(x'2021222324':x'4040404040') (Actually I cover all the below Hex-40 characters. But just to show a snippet of code...

I was just editing an RPGLE source member, made my changes and went to save and I got the following error message:
Save could not be completed. some characters cannot be mapped using "Cp1252" character encoding.
Either change the encoding or remove the characters which are not supported by the "Cp1252"character encoding.
I have no idea what is wrong, I did no extraordinary coding, just added a little code.
TIA,
Daniel E. 'Danny' Hayes
