I have more than 2-servers that report hundreds of "Object name

illegal characters" on a daily basis and I am getting tired of seeing
these errors and would like to resolve them.

ARISTOTLE3.VCU.EDU : ANE4042E Object name

How do you handle these?

These are Linux/Solaris systems and have fairly current clients.


make sure that you set both LC_ALL and LANG to something other than
"C" or eg EN_us.UTF8, usually setting both to "EN_US" or something in
the dsmcad/dsmc sched startup script works.
