OPEN: ENCODING Specifier

The ENCODING specifier indicates the encoding form for a file. It takes the following form:

ENCODING = enc

enc

Is a scalar default character expression that evaluates to one of the following values:

'UTF-8'

Indicates that the encoding form of the file is UTF-8 (a unicode file). All characters therein are of ISO 10646 character type, as specified by ISO/IEC 10646-1:2000.

This value must not be specified if the processor does not support the ISO 10646 character type.

'DEFAULT'

Indicates that the encoding form of the file is determined by the processor.

The default is 'DEFAULT'.

You can only use this specifier for a formatted I/O connection.
