Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Screen or Report Designer or LPEX   *
  *                 that have source with CCSID(*REFC).          *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Loading DSPF or PRTF source with        *
  *                      CCSID(*REFC) into Screen or Report      *
  *                      Designer adds an extra CCSID keyword    *
  *                      to that source.                         *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  When PRTF or DSPF source is loaded into Screen or Report
  Designer, database reference fields are resolved.  If a
  database reference field has a CCSID keyword with the *REFC
  parameter, then the CCSID of the referenced field is to be
  used.
  Before fix pack 8.5.1 an additional CCSID keyword with this
  resolved CCSID value is generated with the DDS source at this
  point.  If the source were to be saved, the additional keyword
  would be saved as well.  Even if the new CCSID keyword is
  deleted, it will be regenerated every time the source is
  parsed.
  
  This behavior can also happen within the LPEX editor if the
  field in question has the cursor on it and the properties
  view is open.
  

Problem conclusion

• This problem is fixed in the RD Power 8.5.1 Fix Pack.
