Problem Description

When editing PL/1 source encoded on mainframe in codepage 1148 the '^' symbol (0x5F ebcdic) is incorrectly translated and becomes a '4' in the edit-buffer resulting in parsing issues to the language server.

Detailed steps for reproducing the problem:

1. First step

Observed behavior

• zapp.yaml file contains RSE-mappings specifying the following: profiles:
  • name: RSE-Mappings type: rseapi settings: mappings:
    • resource: "*COB" extension: cbl transfer: text encoding: IBM-1148 memberMappings:
      • extension: dat transfer: binary resource: "*DAT"
    • resource: "**.PRG" extension: pl1 transfer: text encoding: IBM-1148
    • resource: "**.INCLUDE" extension: pl1 transfer: text encoding: IBM-1148 default.encoding: IBM-1148

Expected behavior

• the ebcdic character '^' being 0x5F should be correctly translated to its corresponding UTF8 character
• however the character '4' is being displayed in the editor window causing parsing issues.

We will investigate and try to reproduce the issue.

[Marco4691]

Any success in reproducing? It is a blocking issue for us to start using the editor in our environment.

Lot of people were out on vacation. Will let you know once someone picked it up.

@Marco4691 I can confirm that this is a bug in RSE API and will be fixed in an upcoming release.

[phaumer]

@Marco4691 a fix is available for RSE API 1.0.x: https://ibm.github.io/mainframe-downloads/host-components.html If you are 1.1.x we intend to include the fix there as well, soon.

[phaumer]

RSE API 1.1.x with the fix is now also available.
