Boban,

CPCONVERT is intended to be used with tables. When you save a PRG as 1252, all of the code gets saved as 1252. You have no option to avoid the code page translation of a program.

If you absolutely need the special characters you're speaking about, save them into a table and retrieve them from your program.
