Build fails with error in COBOL compilation RTC V3 in z/os

I am trying to run a build request of a COBOL program and it fails in the compilation. Looking in the SYSPRINT of the cobol compilatipon returned Looks like the source is in ASCII as the characters looks garbage. I have edited the cobol source in Project explorer it looks fine ( this was loaded from repository). I guess that the source in the repository is kept in ASCII right? Do you know what could be wrong?

I fixed the problem..
But not sure if this is the correct procedure or something in the installation is wrong ( I have RTC on z/OS platform, and the eclipse client on Linux). Anywy this is the action I took to fix the problem;
In the eclipse client preferences (window->preferences->Team->File Properties) I configured the entry for files to : plain/text Platform
and now I can see that the COBOL source is translated correctly to EBCDIC in mainframe during the builds.
