After adding my Workspace to source control (Git) the .pbg file is encoded as utf-8 with bom.

When using OrcaScript to create a PBL from source, it fails with "Unable to process map file: c:\pb_test_build\app1.pbg".

When I change the encoding to utf-8 without bom, the script completes without error.

Question?

Why does powerbuilder save the files as utf-8 with bom if OrcaScript can't process them. 

Thanks

Sounds like the Orcascript program isn't compiled as Unicode.

You should not be using .PBG with Git source control.  PB 2017 and newer supports Git natively.  I strongly recommending upgrading to PB 2019 R3 when it is final release since you are using Git because we have made major enhancements: https://docs.appeon.com/pb2019r3/whats_new/Source_control_enhancements.html
