I haven't tried this on 64bit Debian, only on Suse 10.0 (x86-64). I found by experimentation that a) sometimes setting LC_ALL helps, b) you have to make sure that you don't use utf8.
Have you tried this: [EMAIL PROTECTED] LANG=$LOCALE ; export LANG LC_ALL=$LOCALE ; export LC_ALL LC_CTYPE=$LOCALE ; export LC_CTYPE Verify the locale settings for the scheduler process with ps auxwwe | grep dsm | grep -v grep <rant> The real problem, of course, is the concept of applying locale to filenames, ie interpreting them differently in different locales. But that is a flaw in the locale system itself, not in the programs that have to deal with it. </rant> Regards, Rainer --------------------------------------------------- On Thu, 2 Nov 2006, Hermann Frasch wrote: > Hi, > > Richard Sims wrote: > > > On Oct 31, 2006, at 9:03 AM, Hermann Frasch wrote: > > > > > ANS4042E Object name 'object_path' contains one or more unrecognised > > > characters and is not valid. > > > > > > Hermann - > > > > Go to the TSM Support Page and search on > > > > "contains unrecognized symbols for current locale" > > > > for the more common message on this problem, which yields more search > > results.
