Hi All,

Some of the user are getting the below error message when they open the existing .egp, before executing the program.

User connecting to mainframe servers, Does any one come across this error. Can you please help me.

Please post the log into a window opened with the {i} button, so we can see which character position the error marker is pointing at.

Put the encoding value in quotes.

It looks like the error is coming from the ODS wrapper code that EG is generating, but as @Kurt_Bremser said, we would expect the ENCODING= value to be quoted, like this:

         ODS HTML5(ID=EGHTML) FILE=EGHTML
             OPTIONS(BITMAP_MODE='INLINE')
             ENCODING='utf-8'
             STYLE=HTMLBlue
             NOGTITLE
             NOGFOOTNOTE
             GPATH=&sasworklocation;

Check the Encoding options and "additional" options in your Tools->Options->Results settings.
