Hi,
I wish to create a string in my target model that uses characters from the Unicode character set. In the ETL source I write,
pcInv.predicate := pcVar.name + " ∈ " + pcSet.name;
Currently the string that is output by my ETL translation does not correctly contain the Unicode character.
However, I also use Unicode characters in my source model, and they do get translated correctly (in this case they are just copies of the source) .
Any idea how to write Unicode in ETL strings so that they translate to Unicode in the target model?
Andy

Dimitris,
unfortunately I've been unable to reproduce the error in a simple example. The translation is correct in the small examples I tried. Our project is a good deal more complex, and difficult to simplify, particularly since it references a number of source metamodels.
What I can say though, is that it appears that the character, ∈ , in the fragment
Controller_pc ∈ Controller_pc_Set
is being encoded as,
Controller_pc ∈ Controller_pc_Set
instead of
Controller_pc 	∈ Controller_pc_Set
I can go ahead and write a bug report, but it might be difficult to provide a simple example.
cheers, Andy

Hi Colin,
Thanks for your reply. I'll have a look at this as soon as possible -
which might be a bit later than usual as I'm currently on holiday. Is
this a show-stopper for your work with ETL?
Cheers,
Dimitris
