RE: CPYTOIMPF with QNTC (formerly Help with SWAPUSRPRF)

Thanks Rob

IBM's CE has suggested PTF SI73774 and tried to install it
(SNDPTFORD + LODPTF+APYPTF)
but there were many other (prerequisite?) PTFs received with the SNDPTFORD
and the LODPTF + APYPTF got botched.
I'll get a Cumulative Package and have a go at it.
Meanwhile , I plan to IPL the system on Saturday.
Will see..

There are just some weird stuff with QNTC which may cause sporadic errors.
For example let's say the target has these shares
Acctshare
Mfgshare
Ilikebigsharesandforthisicannotlie
Now, let's say you are only accessing acctshare and neither of the
others. Simply the existence of that last share with the big long name can
cause sporadic errors. It is documented. There have been patches to the
latest versions of the OS to overcome this. Before that we were doing
stuff like spinning up new targets just to stop that one clown from
creating big share names on our target. Most of them made no sense.
Basically they were foreign language for
Thisistheshareforaccounting
Thisistheshareformanufacturing
But I digress...

<snip>
Ensure that all Windows based shares are 12 characters or less in length.
OS400 v740 and later allows access to share names of up to 255 characters
in length.

I'm having a tough time finding documentation about the simple existence
of the longer share name so you can either do your own research or just
trust me on this.

Ps: Who but IBM can get away with saying "OS400 v740"?
