SE52056: RDP 8031 IPROJECT PUSH TO A LIBRARY WITH VARIANT CHARS IN THE NAME FAILS

Rational Developer for Power Systems Software Fix Pack 1 (8.5.1) for 8.5

APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• An attempt to push to a library with an variant character in
  the name (such as a UK pound sign will fail).  This problem will
  also affect file and member names that contain variant
  characters.
  

Local fix

• To work around this change the iProject to target a library that
  does not have any variant characters in the name.
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of i Projects with variant characters  *
  *                 in library or file names.                    *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Objects or members with names with      *
  *                      variant characters cannot be pushed     *
  *                      from an i Project to the target host.   *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  This problem is fixed in the RD Power 8.5.1 Fix Pack.
  
  For any i Project, if a library name contains a variant
  character, or a file or member name contains a variant
  character, and then the file or member is pushed from the
  i Project to the remote host, the push operation will fail
  with an error message.
  
  (Variant characters are characters that correspond to
  different code points across a given set of code pages.
  eg,  #  is variant on IBM i )
