I have updated the file associations in the ibm open editor extension.   We have two custom  types which mapping incorrectly on the local folders.

J01 becomes a suffix of JAVA
P01 becomes a suffix of TXT

How can I correct this file mapping/associations?

Hello Lisa,
I assume it is after opening them with the ZMF Explorer, if so, try to adapt the the HLLX function SYSL01XL. example

== start snippet ==

select
  when componentType=’P01’ then do                       
     dataChanged='YES'                                              
     language= desired language
     end
  when componentType=’J01’ then do                       
     dataChanged='YES'                                              
     language= desired language
     end
  otherwise nop
  end
...
exit 0                                            
== end snippet ===

However, bare in mind it doesn’t always work, not sure why. I recently noticed that if it is a language that is unknown, it is not translated to a proper extension.
I haven’t reported this back to Rocket yet

Best regards
Johan
