Hi Christian

There is multiple APARS:s for the UNICODE problem you have. The first one I
sent was a general problem description. The following APAR is for Solaris
only. It could be a good idea to run the tests described in the APAR
description. It seems like upgrading the server is not enough. Is there any
UNICODE characters in the filespace name?

The following is a description:

APAR= IC32237  SER=                            IN INCORROUT
UNICODE FILESPACE NAME DISPLAYED AS ...


Status: CLOSED                              Closed: 11/30/01

Apar Information:

RCOMP= 5698TSMSU    TSM SUN/SOL SER RREL= R420
FCOMP= 5698TSMSU    TSM SUN/SOL SER PFREL= F999  TREL= T
SRLS:      NONE

Return Codes:

Applicable Component Level/SU:
R420 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:
None

Temporary Fix:


Comments:
MODULES/MACROS:   NONE

Problem Conclusion:
Modified code so filespace names can be converted.
