I was afraid you'd say that ;-). No, we haven't done that, but it's
certainly possible. It was just something I'd like to try and avoid. I'll
give that a shot and report back.

Here's the language settings...

Curtis,

This is not my area of expertise, but have you tried shutting down and
restarting both TSM server and the library? That *might* do the trick.

Regarding the problem displaying message ANR8972E:

> 04/04/2005 09:10:57      << Message number 8972 not available for
language
>                           /USR/LIB/NLS/MSG/EN_US/ >> (SESSION: 50073)

Check the message catalog to ensure that it matches your installed TSM
server version, and that your language environment is configured correctly
(see the National Language Support appendix in the Quick Start book).

Regards,

Andy

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
"Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.
