APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• Cannot import *.ics file when file name contains non ASCII
  character like ' Ú '
  The following error message comes up:.
  
  'Notes cannot process your file. This URL is not associated with
  a valid
  iCalendar feed'
  
  Similar to SPR # MBLT9MVDVK, SPR # IFAY9U5EWQ, SPR # BKAN9WWSFX.
  

Local fix

• Rename *.ics file to remove non ASCII characters.
  
  Comment from affected customer:
  
  I hope that you understand that we cannot say to all of our
  users, "oh it's
  normal, it's just a bug, please use the following
  workaround"...
  For the users the product should work and that's all. It's also
  a matter of
  keeping IBM Notes a credible product compared to the
  competitors.
