Hi Christian

There is an APAR for this problem. Actually, there is several
APARs(PQ56327, IC32554, IC32553 and IC32237), but I'd guess this would do
it. The problem has to do with UNICODE conversion of filespace names.

APAR= PQ56327  SER=                            IN INCORROUT
UNICODE FILESPACE NAME DISPLAYED AS ...


Status: CLOSED                              Closed: 01/04/02

Apar Information:

RCOMP= 5698TSMVS    TIV 390 STORAGE RREL= R421
FCOMP= 5698TSMVS    TIV 390 STORAGE PFREL= F999  TREL= T
SRLS:      NONE

Return Codes:

Applicable Component Level/SU:
R421 PSY         UP

Error Description:
The TSM server for Solaris may display ... for some filesystem
names that should be converted to the current code page.
-
Note:  It may not be possible to convert evry filespace name to
the current code page.
-

If the file space name is Unicode enabled, the name is converted

to the server's code page for display. The results of the
conversion for characters not supported by the current
code page depends on the operating system. For names that
TSM is able to partially convert, you may see question
marks (??), blanks, unprintable characters, or ....
These characters indicate to the administrator that files
do exist. If the conversion is not successful, the name
is displayed as .... Conversion can fail if the string
includes characters that are not available in the server
code page, or if the server has a problem accessing
system conversion routines.
-
The following steps can help to verify that system
conversion routines are functioning properly:
-
A server trace during a query filespace with the unicode
trace flag enabled may indicate problems with the conversion.
14:38:56.389 <25>psxpg.c(1231): Failure opening string

conversion -source UTF-8 and target 8859-1.
-
The customer can verify the system conversion routines
are able to process the conversion with the following
command:
iconv -f UTF-8 -t 8859-1 <any_textfile>
-
If the iconv command succeeds and the TSM server is notable
to convert the filesystem name, the fix for this APAR should
  be applied.  This APAR is for Solaris only.

Local Fix:
Apply patch 4.2.1.8 or higher, available through
Tivoli Web Page to resolve this problem or fixing
PTF when available.
