PK83191: MAP BUILD MESSAGE HAS CORRUPT JAPANESE CHARACTERS

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When building a map on a computer set to Japanese language
  settings, the build message has corrupt Japanese characters.
  

Local fix

• WTXCQ - WTX00000644
  PVB / PVB
  Requires patch
  

Problem summary

• The generated 'Build Errors' are displayed in Japanese correctly
  as expected with respect to M104 error. The Map Analyzer and
  Core-Engine generate the Build Errors, Audit Log and Trace in
  the platform format. The content found in .mme. log and .mtr
  files are in platform-equivalent content. In other words, if
  these files are generated on English locale, it would be CP-1252
  and similarly on Japanese locale, it would be CP-932. Files are
  generated correctly if you look see with Notepad. But, the
  designer should treat them as Platform equivalents instead of
  UTF-8 files and convert them to Unicode. This improper
  conversion could have lead to this garbage in the Organizer
  views of the Design Studio.
  

Problem conclusion

• WTX now determines if we are on  a Japanese 932 code paged
  machine when building on, and we convert to that code page the
  type/map/cardnames as appropriate
