Re: Replacing a file to QDLS

[Scott Klement <midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Could it be the patch level of Windows that the two users are using?  I 
know that there have been compatibility problems with WinXP and QDLS

Here's info on the one I know of:

The other possibility is authority...   Make sure they're enrolled in the 
system distribution directory (WRKDIRE) this is a peculiarity of QDLS.  It 
sounds like you've already chedked other authority possibilities.

Frankly, you should be working on eliminating QDLS and using the root 
filesystem. It's 2006. The 8.3 filename paradigm has been dead for more 
than a decade now. QDLS is, it can't handle multi-threaded jobs, it has 
problems with compatibility with newer operating systems, it has a very 
bizarre security model. It's time to upgrade!
