Hi Michael and Rene,
USEUNICODEFILENAMES, while aptly named for what it does internally, is not
very well named for what it is intended for. Perhaps a better name would
have been ENABLEMACFILESUPPORT, or something like that... :-)
>From DOC APAR IC30744, which better describes the purpose of this option:
========================================
- Mac file support is available only for files with U.S. English
characters in their names (i.e. names that do not contain
accents, umlauts, Japanese characters, Chinese characters, etc)
- In order to back up Mac files, the following client options
must be in effect:
USEUNICODEFILENAMES YES
If you are not backing up Mac files, then the following option
must be in effect:
USEUNICODEFILENAMES NO
Note that the default value is NO for all languages except
English.
========================================
The Unicode client (4.2 and up) eliminates the need for this option, and
TSM ignores it.

Andy

Subject: Re: Useunicodnames YES or NO
Hi René,
with both the server and the client on 4.2 level, it seems that unicode
gets always used (at least with new nodes). That's fine as all problems
we had with national characters should be fixed now.
There's a problem with displaying the filespace names in dsmadmc (q
files resulted in "..." being displayed instead of the filespace name).
This problem is fixed in 4.2.1.8 and later.
When not using 4.2 on both server and client, I think the old rules for
USEUNICODE are still effective, but I haven't found much on this in
Tivoli documentation.
Best regards,
Michael
