Re: Looking a the IFS contents using a Windows program

LOL

There's a setting somewhere - maybe in file share definitions - about automatically converting ebcdic to ascii - that might be the reason for the gibberish, especially if you see lots of @-signs - what hex40 is in ascii.

The setting involves specifying extensions that should be converted.

No grief here - just dim memory!!

As I said earlier, try to use iNav to sort by file owner. Just had to do
this yesterday to fix an issue. Can't in iNav. Yes, iNav is a good tool
and I do use it. I do find it's File Systems support lacking. Often when
I drag and drop from it to my PC the contents are gibberish. I end up
using dos command prompt ftp to get it done. I suppose I'll hear some
grief on how I am ignorant on CCSIDs or some such thing, but, in my mind,
ftp works. Maybe I am hanging around users too much and I am getting
tired of hearing the technical excuses and I just want stuff to work.
