I'm migrating to PowerBuilder 2022.
This is a phrase I used previously.


blob ab_data

FileOpen(as_filename,StreamMode!,Write!,LockWrite!,Replace!,EncodingANSI!)

ls_body = 'aaaa'

ab_data = blob(ls_body,EncodingANSI!)

IF FileWriteEX(li_FileNum, ab_data) = -1 THEN
    MessageBox("Error", "Write Error")
    FileClose(li_FileNum)
return false
END IF

As above, with EncodingAnSi!
Define the format and create the file
There is no text in the file.
Encodingutf8! If you do this, the file will be created normally.
Why is the logic that worked well in 2019 not working?

Hi Jeong;

   Ahhhh ... I think that I see your issue - its the use of the Replace! argument in your FileOpen() command.

Note that when MS-Windows encounters an existing file of that name it will not change the encoring scheme. Instead, it will use the current encoding scheme of the existing file that already exists. Thus, you "think" that your file encoding scheme was changed to Z but it's still the original X format.   HTH

Regards ... Chris

This is easily testable by creating a new file using FileOpen w/ EncodingAnsi!, writing the String "FakeBOMÄÖÜ:)" to this file, close it, and try to open it again using EncodingAnsi!

 is the UTF-8 BOM bytes interpreted as Windows-1252 (widely but incorrectly known as "ANSI") character data, which proves that FileOpen() does open the file just fine but rejects it based on the first three bytes despite the actual text encoding being "ANSI".

As a test to change the encoding, try doing an IF FileExits () followed by a FileDelete() before the FileOpen().

BTW: I encountered this windows O/S phenomenon way back in the W95 days. AFAIK it's still the same in W11.

It has nothing to do with the OS, it's 100% PBs internal logic.

Hi.

I tested the following code and it works fine in PB 2022 R2 (2819 & 2828) and PB 2022 R3 (3289).

integer li_FileNum
string ls_body, ls_filename = 'C:\Tests\bintest.bin'
blob ab_data

if fileexists(ls_filename) then
	filedelete(ls_filename)
end if

li_FileNum = FileOpen(ls_filename,StreamMode!,Write!,LockWrite!,Replace!,EncodingANSI!)

if li_filenum > 0 then
	ls_body = 'aaaa'
	
	ab_data = blob(ls_body,EncodingANSI!)
	
	IF FileWriteEX(li_FileNum, ab_data) = -1 THEN
		 MessageBox("Error", "Write Error")
	END IF
	
	FileClose(li_FileNum)
else
	messagebox("Error:", "Could not open file: " + ls_filename)
end if

All test where done using PB 2022 R3 (3289) IDE.

Andreas.

hi,

you forgot to save the filenumber.

li_FileNum = FileOpen(as_filename,StreamMode!,Write!,LockWrite!,Replace!,EncodingANSI!)

Best,

Of course, it is written as follows.

li_FileNum = FileOpen(as_filename,StreamMode!,Write!,LockWrite!,Replace!,EncodingANSI!)

What you said is in 2022 R2

Does this mean it can't be done and is possible in 2022 R3?
