SCM on USS and Windows

We have a z/OS project and are using the SCM on USS and windows to work with/checkin files. We also use the eclipse client on Windows. We used zImport to load a number of files into our repositry workspace / Stream. Looking at those files in the stream through the eclipse client, they all have encoding CP1252. When we check-in code from the USS SCM it appears to change the encoding in the stream to IBM1047 so when I try and look at those files through the eclipse viewers they are unreadable. When I then load those files to my local repository they get encoding CP1252 again. Doing a SCM property list on USS for the encoding has them all as UTF-8 there?


I'm confused on how this is suppose to work with USS? Should we convert the EBCDIC code to ascii prior to checkin ? Or will the code page still end up being IBM1047?

Thanks
Rob.

Folks, any thoughts on this?

Another question is how can I run queries to get the encoding of files in the repository versus my sandbox? As I mentioned, I can see through the eclipse viewer that individual files are encoded as IBM-1047 but I can't find a way to search with eclipse to show all the files that have encoding IBM-1047.

Thanks
Rob.
