Object Browser filter - when hovering over a source file, reported info is sometimes incorrect

[heymchri]

When hovering over a source file, if the file has a CCSID of 65535, the reported CCSID shows as 37.
Also, if a member was added outside of VS Code, upon taking the refresh option on the source file, the member count is not updated. It is only updated if the refresh option is taken on the filter.
Also, although the Source File CCSID setting on the connection configuration is set to the default value *FILE, the source member opens just fine, although that should result in an error as source files with CCSID 65535 are supposedly not supported (unless the Source File CCSID is changed to a proper CCSID value).

Please share the contents of your Code for IBM i output channel after hovering over a source file and seeing the incorrect info.

Hi Liam,
see attached text file.
Thx,

@heymchri Well, the system is returning 37, and not 65535, to us:

/home/HEYMCHR: /usr/bin/attr -p /QSYS.LIB/VSCODETEST.LIB/QSRC65535.FILE CCSID
{
    "code": 0,
    "signal": null,
    "stdout": "CCSID=37",
    "stderr": ""
}

Are you able to do a DSPFFD on this table and paste the entire output here?

[heymchri]

Hi @worksofliam here you go:

QPDSPFFD_HEYMCHR_QPADEV001G_045759_1.pdf

[worksofliam]

@heymchri Looked into this more, and there isn't much more we can do since we are reading directly from the OS:

• /usr/bin/attr is returning 37 in your output log.
• DSPFFD is returning 65535 as defined.

I don't believe this to be a bug on our side, so I am going to convert this to a discussion.

Is CCSID 37 used anywhere else in your system? What is your system CCSID, locale, etc? What is your job job CCSID and default CCSID?

[heymchri]

@worksofliam QCCSID is 37, local is EN_US, job CCSID is 37, default CCSID is 37.
I guess I should be able to report this to IBM as a bug with attr, since it's clearly returning the wrong CCSID?
