Eduardo,
RDi does not have any other tooling. I think the semi manual conversion is
the best option so far.
I was wondering if you set the Preferences->General->Workspace Text file
encoding to UTF-8, would it handle the hex characters any better.

Thanks, Ken. I appreciate your help.
Someone from the team already created a utility to do just that as well as
including the verification of the update. Apologies for the late notice but
as I mentioned earlier, we're going to migrate all of our sources to
RDi/SVN for the first time and it will entail running this utility hundreds
of times with the number of releases/libraries that contain the offending
comment lines. The in-house developed utility runs thru any or all source
member/s in a specific library, btw.
However, I was hoping that there's an easier way that won't require running
this kind of utility. I mean if there is a configuration file somewhere,
much like the host character preferences for the LPEX display, that can be
tweaked to serve this purpose and run seamlessly with the uploading of
sources, that would be a lot easier for everyone. I'm pretty sure there are
other installations that use colors in their codes and they'll encounter
this as well.
I guess the option is not yet in RDi 9.1 so we will have to do tweak the
sources in a semi-manual way. I hope IBM releases an update that caters to
it though.
Thank you Ken and Edmund.
Cheers.

Create a simple an RPGLE to override the member with ExtFile to open the
correct member. And then use %XLATE to convert invalid Hex Code to Blanks.
At least that is what I did! <smile>

use the User-Action: "Remove Special Characters"...

RFE26471Display hex code characters that represent 5250 display attributes
in LPEX (Windows 7)
This fix applies only when viewing iSeries sources via LPEX. However, when
this source is uploaded to an iProject column6 changes to "?" and is also
the same character that gets pushed back to iSeries when compiling that it
gets annoying.
Using colors in a source may be dabatable but isn't there a way to replace
the hex code attribute to blanks instead of "?"
Thanks.

Hi,
I'm new to RDi and our company is moving forward to using RDi 9.1 with SVN
as our SCM.
We are currently piloting RDi w/ SVN and I've learned that the Host
Character preferences is a new thing for RDi 9.1. I set it up to replace
the colorized comments hex attribute (column 6) to blanks when initially
they appear as question marks (?) when viewed via LPEX editor. I was able
to remove the question mark when viewing the remote source via LPEX.
However, when I add the source to my iProject and open it, the "?" sign
still appears.
Maybe some of you have encountered this bit before. Thanks.
