APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • Downloading a source member containing mixed DBCS and SBCS

    that is not supported on all code pages and is represented with
    the '?' glyph.

  • Manually replace the character with a space if desired.
    

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED:                                              *
    * Those using RDi with source file members in double byte      *
    * CCSIDâ ™s which are downloaded into i Projects when the      *
    * 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.
