  • 1.  unix tr command "Invalid AFM"

    Posted Jan 04, 2018 02:58 PM

    Hello,

     

    trying to put tr command below directly into the command line, and it's not recognized.

       running directly from the command line (on AIX), works just fine.

     

    Wondering if there might be a flag I can set to support ISO 8859-1 character set  ( the tilde u character ).

     

     

    tr 'ù' 'u' < mapfile > map_ascii

    Hello Bill

    We have fixed problems with extended ascii characters in the SP7 version of the System Agent

    https://support.ca.com/us/download-center/problem-detail.html?docid=642989&productcd=SYSAGT&problemnbr=271 

     

    Symptoms:
    =========
    Accented characters or other characters in the Latin-1 Supplement
    character code range (0x80 to 0xFF) may become corrupted when sent
    from the manager to an 11.3.6 agent, or the job may fail with an
    "Invalid AFM" error.

     

    At SP7, a new agent parameter, communication.v2.nativeafmencoding, limits international character support to extended ASCII, allowing backward compatibility.

     

    Regards
