Out in the wider world, "Because I want to view directories on a 3270." is not as valid reason to tell users that they can't use their native languages for file names. Maybe we need an RFE for ISPF to support the EBCDIC transform of Unicode, along with a TN3270 client that supports it.

Does one exist? So, I guess, you won't be able to view such nice filenames in 3270 emulator. It could mean some inconvenience. Let's imagine you have to use pathname in your JCL job. Or in some script. Or just type it in command line. More inconvenience. And that's what I meant when joined discussion. From the other hand we have dataset names and more strict rules. And no such troubles. And I still did not get any answer for the following: Why do you want to use such names? No, "because I can" is IMHO not worth the problems described above. -- Radoslaw Skorupka Lodz, Poland ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
