Symptoms

A custom Table Conversion (TC) is created which outputs a flat file using the format type "XML".

In P93081 - Work With Flat File Encoding application, UTF8 encoding is set up for this custom TC.

However, when the TC is submitted, the output XML file is always encoded in UTF-16.

Steps to Duplicate:

1. Create a Table Conversion UBE
   
   On the Table Conversion Properties , Outputs tab
    
   User Defined Format - Type
   Format Type : XML - Outputs are in Extensible Markup Language (XML) format
   Row Formats: Single Format - All rows have the same format
   
   
2. Run table conversion program on fat client or on server (after package deployment),  the XML output flat file is always in UTF-16 encoding although P93081 is set up to be UTF8
