APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • Using IBM z/OS Explorer with CICS Explorer (p2 install),
    editing a *.wsdl file with WSDL editor, incorrect characters are
    displayed when the remote encoding of the file is changed.
    

Local fix

  • Close and reopen the same file to see the correct characters
    displayed in the WSDL editor
    

Problem summary

  • If RSE is used to open a binary file in an editor that
    contributes a content type with a specific encoding (such as the
    *.wsdl editor) the editor contents can appear corrupted if the
    user then changes the remote encoding.
    

Problem conclusion

  • If RSE used binary transfer to download the file, RSE sets the
    local charset to match the remote encoding.  However, when this
    editor opens, the content type for the editor overrides whatever
    the local charset was previously set to.  When a user changes
    the remote encoding of a binary-transfer file, RSE updates the
    local charset to match that but that causes the overridden
    encoding to be lost for that edit session and corrupts the
    editor.
