Local fix
Problem summary
When using the Info property page to change the code page for a z/OS UNIX file that is currently open in an editor, the contents of the editor become corrupted. The user must clear the cache, and download the file to see the contents using the correct remote code page.
Problem conclusion
When the code page is changed via the Info property page of a z/OS UNIX file while it is open in an editor, the file will be downloaded and converted using the newly specified code page. Depending on the editor, and whether or not the contents of the editor were changed and unsaved prior to the code page change, the user may be prompted to replace the contents of the editor with the newly converted version of the file. The problem listed in this APAR has been resolved with IBM Rational Developer for System z V8.0.3.2 Fix Pack which is available from the Recommended Fixes support download page: http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=2294&uid=swg27006335
