I’m running an Excel macro that calls a LISP script, which has always worked fine in the past, but now it’s coming up with this error:
decoding error on stream
# >SB-SYS:FD STREAM for “file:Y\…\FILE0617.CMT”
{27B22531}>
(:EXTERNAL-FORMAT :CP1252):
the octet sequence (141) cannot be decoded
What specifically should I be looking for that might be causing this error? The input file is formatted the same as the ones that worked in the past without error.
What does octet sequence 141 refer to?
141 is a cedilla (ç). I’m guessing that you got someone with a name with a ç in it for the first time and Lisp doesn’t handle the encoding right.
