So far I am lost with reproducing the problem, because for me using a source file with encoding 1208 (UTF-8) does not work at all.
Here is what I tried to reproduce the problem:
1) Precondition: my workspace is set to Cp1252, which is the default Windows encoding
2) Started the test case with creating a source physical file like this: crtsrcpf raddatz/qsrc1208 ccsid(1208)
3) Added two fresh members.
4) Started the iSphere compare editor and got nothing but garbage.
5) Opened the members with the Lpex editor and got the same garbage.
6) Changed workspace encoding to utf-8.
7) Removed the members from the "RemoteSystemsTempFiles" folder.
8) Opened the members with the Lpex editor and got the same garbage again.
When I debug the iSphere compare editor, then the downloaded resource files are reported as UTF-8:
System.out.println(((IFile)fLeftResource).getCharset());
But when I open the files, I cannot properly decode them with Notepad++. All I see is garbage. Hence I am sure it is not utf-8.
iSphere uses the "QSYSEditableRemoteSourceFileMember.download(IProgressMonitor monitor)" method for downloading the members and I expect that the Lpex editor does it the same way. I wonder whether the problem is in QSYSEditableRemoteSourceFileMember.
Last but not least I did my tests with RDP 8.0 and RDi 9.5.1.2 with the same results.
Did I do or understand something wrong?
Thomas.

Betreff: [WDSCI-L] iSphere compare editor encoding issue
Hi,
I am experiencing some issues while using iSphere Comprae Editor (3.1.1.r) on sources which contain special characters encoded in UTF-8. My workspace setup in RDi is set to UTF-8 but still when I use compare editor all unicode characters are replaced by substitute character (SUB). It seems like compare editor is not using UTF-8 encoding. I could not find any configuration that would change this behavior. Do you have any idea if it is possible to force UTF-8 encoding in compare editor?
Thanks!
