Error description
There are actions available in the i Projects Navigator view in Rational Developer for i (RDI) 9.6.0.6 to add or remove sequence numbers and dates on i projects files, when the preference to enable these actions is set. These actions can corrupt the character content of the file for characters beyond the basic Latin character set because they do not properly observe the project file encoding.
