Are you going to IBM i?
Then I suspect you forgot to change from namefmt 0 to namefmt 1 and
it's trying to put a csv file into the qsys.lib file system.

Or, you are using namefmt 1 but you are trying to go to /qdls and
that crap only supports 8.3

Charles,

The above quoted text is quite confusing, because the attributions are incorrect; despite being sent by you, your portion of the message was "lost", due to, in combination, posting without NNTP-style quoting, and bottom-quoting. See how in the archive, just as in the above quoted text, you appear to have posted only/exactly what Rob posted, even appearing to sign the message as "Rob":
[https://archive.midrange.com/midrange-l/201705/msg00450.html]

While I am in no way [any longer] a fan of top-posting, if you bottom-post *and* there is an end-of-signature line preceding your text, then _minimally_, remove the line with the two dashes followed by a space.

A copy of your message does appear in the archives, copied by Jeff's email client [my NNTP ignores text after the signature-indicator] in the following archived message; note the gray vertical bar on the left, showing the "quoting" of your message that did not properly quote Rob's message:
[https://archive.midrange.com/midrange-l/201705/msg00451.html]

Better than just being sure to trim the signature denotation, IMO, is to ensure use of the proper quoting [i.e. preceding each line with a less-than sign and a space], such that the messages appear correctly in the archives; i.e. so the text in a message is conspicuously associated with a particular author. FWiW, IMO, ditching the digest versions, and just using an NNTP or email client to group/organize the messages greatly simplifies; minimally, as improvements, there is no need to "fix" the subject line [which some posts added some extraneous "RE:"] nor trim out so much unrelated text, as the "reply" feature should automate both the continuum of the subject line *and* contextual quoting.
