Every time I work on SPSS syntax file and save it, this line automatically pops out on the top: * Encoding: windows-1252.

How can I disable this line, or make it not happen at the first place?

The reason I ask is because my syntax will source from another syntax file. The problem seems to be that can't be done with this encoding line.

EDIT: Actually it looks like any type of encoding will "stick" on my syntax file. For example, if I specify: set unicode yes. then this will appear on the top line: * Encoding: UTF-8. Again, it doesn't go away. Say, I delete it but, upon clicking on save, it comes back.

This line is just an informative comment about the encoding of the file. Would you explain in more detail why this causes a problem?
