As for the environment variable, I did a Google search with "ibm i sftp ifs ccsid" and found this IBM Technote : After V7R4 upgrade encoding scheme not compatible utilizing GIFSGATE/CPYFRMSTMF - Gentran Server for iSeries at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/after-v7r4-upgrade-encoding-scheme-not-compatible-utilizing-gifsgatecpyfrmstmf-gentran-server-iseries. Although it is about a different product problem in IBM i and the release is 7.4 but I notice the problem is the "reverse" to your case. So, I make a guess that setting the environment variable to Y should solve your issue and luckily, it does.
Please keep in mind that your setting of the environment variable at *SYS level applies to the entire PASE environment and this MAY cause problem to some other PASE-based app in the future in case there are other app running in your PASE as well. (Let's prey there is none for now! :-) You may want to explore if it is possible to set the env var at *JOB level instead. (I have no idea yet.) You can do this by using IBM MySupport web site to ask the "how to" question there. Anyway, CHGATR command can also be a back=up solution for you.

Dear Mr. Satid
Thank you for your comment.
The SFTP tool used the VSCode extension (SFTP).
After updating the system environment variables, the STMF CCSID became 1208. Thank you for teaching.
ADDENVVAR ENVVAR(PASE_DEFAULT_UTF8) VALUE(Y) LEVEL(*SYS)
Thank you for also telling me how to change the ccsid attribute.

Dear Koinuma-san
>>>>> I set up to automatically put the source from the PC to IFS using SFTP.
In version 7.5, the STMF CCSID is 817,
In version 7.4, the STMF CCSID is 1208, which is different <<<<
CCSID 1208 = UTF-8 which should be the correct value while CCSID 817 does NOT exist in IBM CCSID list which should mean it is an invalid value and should be the culprit for the problem you encounter.
What specific tool did you use for SFTP of the source code file from PC to IBM i IFS? You should check if you can specify any CCSID control in the tool. Do you ensure that you do SFTP in binary mode?

Hello,
I am a member of the Japanese Power team, and this question is about something happening in the Japanese environment.
Currently, I am testing the development of FFRPG using VSCode（Code for IBMi）.
In the version 7.5 environment, only Japanese characters in the compile list are garbled.
Could you please give me some advice regarding the garbled characters?
This does not occur in version 7.4, so I would like to clarify the cause.
■Verification procedure
1. Connect to IBMi server with VSCode
2. Right-click the source in IFS BROWSER and select Run Action to compile.
3. Click Open Output to see the compilation list. However, the Japanese characters become garbled.
The compile command is as follows.
CRTBNDRPG PGM(QGPL/icafe016) SRCSTMF('/home/KOINUMA/ffrpgsrc/icafe016.rpgle') OPTION(*EVENTF) DBGVIEW(*SOURCE) TGTRLS(*CURRENT) TGTCCSID(*JOB)
■Environmental assumptions
・Version：7.5
・QCCSID：1399
・IBM PASE for i environment variables：
QIBM_PASE_CCSID=1208
・CCSID of user profile：SYSVAL
・FFRPG source encoding: UTF8
■Other concerns
I set up to automatically put the source from the PC to IFS using SFTP.
In version 7.5, the STMF CCSID is 817,
In version 7.4, the STMF CCSID is 1208, which is different.
