Re: [U2] Conversion to Windoze % vs ? character

2005-02-17 Thread Don Verhagen 
You cannot use "?" in a filename on Windoze (Same as *) that you may have used 
on Unix.

I know my FTP client switches any * in filenames (record id in a directory 
file) to @ when I ftp from UNIX to Windows.


Thanks,

I'm attempting to convert a system using a uvbackup tape from hpux to windows.  
I've noticed that many cataloged items now have a name that ends in the % 
character wheras on the production system they end in a ? character.

Is there something I'm missing here as far as a conversion command or 
something?  Since I used uvbackup and uvrestore, I'm thinking that doing a 
fnuxi is not required.  

Any ideas?

Thanks,

This is because the automatic translations performed to avoid illegal record
names in type 1/19 files are different on Unix and Windows. In theory, this
should be totally transparent though you cannot just copy the catalogued
files. You need to recatalogue the programs and all will work by magic.
