DOCUMENT:Q248094 18-JUN-2001 [visualc] TITLE :BUG: Fatal error RC1022 or Error RC2104 PRODUCT :Microsoft C Compiler PROD/VER:WINDOWS:6.0,97; winnt:5.0,6.0 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS:kbCompiler kbVC500bug kbVC600bug kbVS97bug kbVS600bug _IK kbGrpDSTools ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Enterprise Edition, versions 5.0, 6.0 - Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Professional Edition, versions 5.0, 6.0 - Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Learning Edition, version 6.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOMS ======== When compiling a resource script that includes Chinese and Japanese resources in the compile-time directives, the following errors may occur: \RCXXXXXX(YYYY) : fatal error RC1022: expected '#endif' -or- \.rc (YYYY): error RC2104 : undefined keyword or key name Where RCXXXXXX is a temporary file created by the resource compiler and YYYY is the line number. CAUSE ===== The resource compiler, RC.exe, incorrectly preprocesses the resource script. RESOLUTION ========== To resolve this problem, wrap the inclusion of the Japanese and Chinese scripts with the appropriate language statement. If the resource script includes Chinese (Taiwan) resources: #include .rc wrap the inclusion as follows: #if !defined(AFX_RESOURCE_DLL) || defined(AFX_TARG_CHT) #ifdef _WIN32 LANGUAGE 4, 1 #pragma code_page(950) #endif //_WIN32 #include .rc #endif If the resource script contains Chinese (PRC) resources: #include .rc wrap the inclusion as follows: #if !defined(AFX_RESOURCE_DLL) || defined(AFX_TARG_CHS) #ifdef _WIN32 LANGUAGE 4, 2 #pragma code_page(936) #endif //_WIN32 #include .rc #endif If the resource script includes Japanese resources: #include .rc wrap the inclusion as follows: #if !defined(AFX_RESOURCE_DLL) || defined(AFX_TARG_JPN) #ifdef _WIN32 LANGUAGE 17, 1 #pragma code_page(932) #endif //_WIN32 #include .rc #endif If the resource script includes Japanese and Chinese (PRC or Traditional): #include #include wrap both inclusions with the appropriate language statement. STATUS ====== Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. MORE INFORMATION ================ Steps to Reproduce Behavior --------------------------- The following steps reproduce the RC1024 error: 1. Using the MFC AppWizard (exe), create a new project. 2. In the MFC AppWizard step 1, select Single document and select Japanese as the language for the resources. 3. Click Finish. 4. Using the MFC AppWizard (exe), create a new project and add it to the workspace that you've just created. 5. In the MFC AppWizard, in step 1, select Single document and select Chinese (Taiwan) as the language for the resources. 6. Click Finish. 7. Set the Japanese project as the active project by using the Set active project on the Project menu. 8. Select Resource Includes from the View menu. 9. Scroll to the end of the Compile-time Directives list box and include the Chinese resource script. #include .rc 10. Build the Japanese project. The following steps reproduce the RC1022 error: 1. Select Resource Includes from the View menu. 2. Remove the inclusion of the Chinese resource script. 3. Set the Chinese project as the active project by using Set active project on the Project menu. 4. Select Resource Includes from the View menu. 5. Scroll to the end of the Compile-time Directives list box and include the Japanese resource script. #include .rc 6. Build the Chinese project.
