Nancy, APAR IC27346 has a pretty good discussion on this, and many of the path length limitations were resolved in 4.1 (and up). Here is a link to an old post that includes the pertinent text of the APAR.

After reading the above info, please feel free to let me know if you have any other questions.

I have a TSM v4.1 Windows client that is getting ANS4018E and ANS1228E errors because of really long paths. Can anyone tell me what the limit is? I have searched the manuals and I'm guessing 256, but I would like to confirm that. Can the limit be changed? (I'm guessing no.) And, would a later version of the client change the limit? Thanks.
