Character set, Encoding

In rare cases there may be a need for a character set of test data to be entered in the file. For example, if test data that were created under Linux contain special characters and are used under Windows for the generation of test cases.

LF‑ET searches in the first 5 rows of the file for a character set or an encoding entry such as

Encoding = UTF-8

*GTD.Customers

gzapf@yahoo.com     ; test2051  ; Grete    ; Zapf      ; F

and then uses the corresponding character set entered when loading the test data.
