• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:                                              *
  * Those using RDi with source file members in double byte      *

  * workspace file encoding is not Unicode.                      *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * There was a problem representing adjacent Shift-In/Shift-Out *
  * bytes in the file character encoding used for the local file *
  * in the i Project.                                            *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  RDi is reverted back to converting the adjacent
  Shift-In/Shift-Out bytes to a double byte space character in the
  downloaded local file in the i Project, preserving the EBCDIC
  byte spacing for upload.
