Due to the era of the BDE database engine*, a few of the PdxEditor's functions have some limitations concerning path and table namings not accepting non-ASCII characters. This is the case for the following functions:
• CopyTable
• View Table Validity Checks
• View Table Field Types (Native)
• Restructure Basic: Change Field Names, etc.
• Restructure Extended: Change Field Names, etc. +/- Required (see below)
Also, reverse Generate SQL CREATE ... will not generate SQL definitions on dBASE tables named with non-ASCII characters, if selecting one of the dBASE Numeric modes (0 ... 3) depending on in depth analysis and recreation reflecting the native dBASE numeric types.
Selecting dBASE Numeric mode 4 (SQL Menu) eliminates this limitation, and will allow propagating dBASE Numeric fields into wider numeric data types as necessary also affecting the Restructure Extended.

*: The BDE development ended in the age of the Delphi 5, years before several keywords were redefined - e.g. before String changed from meaning AnsiString into meaning WideString, etc.
