APAR status

• Closed as duplicate of another APAR.

Error description

• You are working with IBM SPSS Statistics 20.0, 20 FP1, or 21.0,
  and have connected to a
  working session of IBM SPSS Statistics Server running on Windows
  Server 2008 or windows 7.  You are
  attempting to access files on a remote file server and are
  entering the UNC path/address to these files in any of the
  various File Chooser dialogs (File->Open, File->Save As, any
  Browse subdialog) and although you are able to reach the
  directory in question and see the file you wish to access, after
  you select it and continue, you receive the following error:
  
  "Subdirectory Entire Network Does Not Exist."
  

Local fix

• This issue will be addressed in an upcoming Fix Pack or future
  release. Please refer to the Fix Pack schedule at
  http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21599157 for
  information on upcoming Fix Packs.
  
  If you encounter the issue described above please open a Service
  Request with IBM SPSS Technical Support. An Interim Fix was
  developed for customers who need the fix prior to the next
  upcoming Fix Pack.
  
  Please contact Technical Support with reference to APAR PM70979
  and technote 1610615 about about Interim Fix 1 for Statistics 21
  Server Windows operating system.
  
  Note: Interim fixes are limited corrections to specific issues
  reported by one or more customers. They are normally sent only
  to customers who have reported one of the corrected problems,
  and who require an immediate correction. Interim Fixes do not
  address customer enhancement requests, and not all defect
  corrections can be delivered as Interim Fixes. Due to their
  urgency Interim Fixes undergo only targeted testing of specific
  fixes, not full regression testing. If the fix is not urgently
  required, you may prefer to wait for a scheduled Fix Pack
  Release, which will be fully regression tested. Interim Fix
  corrections, once fully regression tested, are automatically
  included in a future Fix Pack.
