Copy local COBOL-Sources to z/OS: encoding-warning

We want to copy local COBOL-Sources (from Project-Explorer) to MVS-Files.
The files don't contain any HEX-code or any unusual characters.
The source isw copied correctly, but since IDz 14.2.2 there is an Encoding Warning:

"The file contains characters that cannot be transferred correctly between local and remote systems. Transferring may cause the file to become corrupted."

This is a new warning with IDz 14.2.2 or IDz 15.0.
With IDz 14.2.0 there was no encoding warning.

If more than one file is copied, we get this warning many times, but don't need it (or only once)

Codepages: Host Code Page: IBM-1141
Local Code Page: UTF-8. These codepages are also defined for the cbl-mapping.
Workspace Text file encoding: UTF-8

    As indicated in the last comment we believe this was delivered in APAR https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/apar/PH35948. If you are not in agreement, please open a new RFE.
