How to open RPO file?

An often recurring problem with IBM XL C/C++ For Linux Compiler is that RPO is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that RPO files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the RPO file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install XL C/C++

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that XL C/C++ is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name XL C/C++ into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file RPO with XL C/C++. Below you will find a list of applications that support RPO files.

Programs to open RPO file

Remember to download programs supporting RPO files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of XL C/C++ with RPO files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the RPO file still does not use the XL C/C++ program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the RPO file with the XL C/C++ program.

Step 3. Update XL C/C++ to the latest version

If, despite the association of the XL C/C++ program with the IBM XL C/C++ For Linux Compiler file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RPO file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the RPO file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the RPO file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover RPO files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the RPO file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair RPO file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file RPO except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the RPO file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file RPO to close. However, some background programs may block the RPO file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
