Morning Ed,
I'm not sure how useful this would be if you're wanting to hunt for bad file
names, but in the past we've used the built in HEX function to convert problem
strings to hex and have an external script convert it back into ASCII/Unicode
(whatever it should be).
That way all the intelligence goes into an external script and there's no
digging around in ILM to find a solution. I don't have an example to hand, but
if you're interested in the approach I can probably get one for you.
Regards,

I know I've run into this before way back, but my notes on how I solved this
aren't getting the job done in Scale 5.0.5.8 and my notes are from 3.5. ?
Anyone know a way to get a LIST policy to properly feed bad filenames into the
output or an external script?
When I say bad I mean things like control characters, spaces, etc. Not
concerned about the dreaded 'newline' as we force users to fix those or the
files do not get backed up in Tivoli.

Since when? Last time I checked which was admittedly circa 2008, TSM would
backup files with newlines in them no problem. mmbackup on the other hand in
that time frame would simply die and backup nothing if there was a single file
on the file system with a newline in it.
I would take a look at the mmbackup scripts which can handle such stuff (least
ways in >4.2) which would also suggest dsmc can handle it.
As an aside I now think I know how you end up with newlines in file names.
Basically you cut and paste the file name complete with newlines (most likely
at the end) into a text field when saving the file.
Personally I think any program should baulk at that point but what do I know.
JAB.
