The sourceEncoding parameter may be used to query or set the character encoding of the file on its originating platform.

sourceEncoding is scoped to the current document.
current.sourceEncoding is scoped to the current document.
default.sourceEncoding is globally scoped.
install.sourceEncoding is globally scoped.

set default.sourceEncoding { install

}
query install.sourceEncoding
| default | If you specify the default parameter for the set sourceEncoding command, the current document will use the value of default.sourceEncoding as its source character encoding. |
| encoding | If you specify the encoding parameter for the set sourceEncoding command, the source character encoding indicated by encoding will be used for the current document. If you specify the encoding parameter for the set default.sourceEncoding command, the character encoding indicated by encoding will be used for all documents that have the sourceEncoding parameter set to default. |
| native | Specifying the native parameter is equivalent to specifying the encoding parameter with the value of the character encoding on the native platform. |
| install | If you specify the install parameter for the set default.sourceEncoding command, all the documents that have sourceEncoding set to default will use the value of install.sourceEncoding as the source character encoding. |
By default, the source encoding of a file is the character encoding of the native platform on which the editor is running. When the file on the native platform is the local copy of a file on a host system (such as S/390), specifying the original host-system character encoding of the file allows the editor to consider and emulate various characteristics of the original file, such as displaying the Shift-in and Shift-out control characters of an EBCDIC DBCS file.
The query current.sourceEncoding command will return the value of the source character encoding used for the current document.
