We have a program that uses the C$OPENSAVEBOX libary routine. The file name it returns strips out, or replaces, international characters, like the accented C(ć), and replaces it with an english C, no accent. Unfortunately, this breaks my acucobol program because when I then try to manipulate the file(copy it, delete it, etc.) it can't find it.

Has anyone worked around this?

Sample file name: Jovanić.doc
C$OPENSAVEBOX returns: Jovanic.doc

    I would report this to Customer Care as a bug.
