To Avoid Code Page Conflicts in .NET COBOL

Note: The following applies to .NET COBOL only.

To avoid code page conflicts, save all the auto-generated developer-editable .cbl files using the platform locale that matches the developer-generated of previously existing files, as follows:

  1. Ensure the source code from the file is displayed in the editor.
  2. Click File > Advanced Save Options.

    The advanced save dialog is displayed indicating the current code page for the file it UTF-8.

  3. Change the encoding to the platform default.
  4. Repeat the above for each auto-generated .cbl file.
  5. Save all the .cbl files under the same locale.
  6. Rebuild the solution.
