Re: RDP not working right -- WDSCI-L

All, thanks for the help.

Have tried typing the pound sign in lpex saving and viewing in SEU : no problem.
Also, Arco has a different result from me. The fact that I only have the problem when I put the library name in front of the program name suggests a bug rather than ccsid. If do "call mypgm£", I get back the message with mypgm£ in the log.

PC is well above minimum recommendation, but only 1.83GB ram.

Fix pack??? why the hell are IBM giving an unfixed pack as the trial version? When I look I see V 7.6 (7.6.0.20100331_1610) in IBM Installation Manager. Doesn't that mean I have the fixpack 7.6.0.1 ?

Hi David,

Is your pc hardware and memory sufficient? And did you update
your RDP after installation to fixpack 7.6.0.1 ?

I tried your pound token issue, and get the same results as you do:

call mypgm£
Value 'MYPGM£ ' for parameter PGM not a valid name.
Cause . . . . . : Value 'MYPGM£ ' contains characters
that are not
valid in a name or is a single value that was specified as
part of a qualifier. A name must begin with an alphabetic
character followed by alphanumeric characters, or if the
value is a string of characters, it must be enclosed in
quotation marks.

call mylib/mypgm£
Characters in qualifier beginning 'MYPGMÂ£ ' not valid.
Cause . . . . . : The qualifier must be a valid character string, a
numeric or a predefined value.

Best regards,
-Arco

2nd day into the 60 day trial and RDP7.6 has just locked up on me,
right in the middle of modifying an RPG. I was trying to

check out the

multiple editing screen. When the others find out, this is going to
get the thumbs down. It'll be business as usual, SEU for most, and
back to the Arkansas Chutterbug for me ( my affectionate

name for my WDSCV6).

Is there anything I need to get checked out on the i or my PC?

Also, would someone try this test for me and see what

happens - type a

call to a program with a name ending with the £ character in the
command history view. If I type CALL MYPGM£ all is ok but if I type
CALL MYLIB/MYPGM£ I get the message roughly translated, "the name
beginning with 'MYPGMÂ# ' contains incorrect characters'.

Thanks a lot.
