Hi All, I'm having what appears to be some character set related issues when running Ant on z/OS under USS. I have tracked down the issue to the <property environment> tag which doesn't seem to be able to pick up environment variables and spews ASCII text when the following IBM_JAVA_OPTIONS variable is defined:
-Dfile.encoding=ISO8859-1 -Dconsole.encoding=IBM-1047 -Xnoargsconversion The ASCII text, when converted to EBCDIC appears to be environment variables, so I'm guessing that Ant internally expects the environment variables in EBCDIC (possibly from the output of /bin/env) which somehow gets converted to ISO8859-1 due to the file.encoding parameter, leading to its confusion. Ant 1.5.3-1 is bundled with the version of Maven that I use, and it requires the IBM_JAVA_OPTIONS to be set. Has anyone experienced this before? Does anyone know if Ant is capable of handling custom file.encoding as in this case? Regards, Anuradha PS. Apologies for cross posting, thought maybe the devs can shed some light on the conversion aspects. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
