Downloading using source file with member names that have dollar signs in them

[m-tyler]

I was playing around with the download of source from the source file point. It was all going good until I noticed nothing downloaded. Looking at the log, member names with $ dollar sign characters (@ at sign seems good).

I will upload a test case of members that cause the same error if there are more.

Issue only seems to occur with the dollar signs and only when more than one.

This an issue when opening archive source members from our CMS tool, Rocket Aldon.

@m-tyler What happens if you run this from a pase shell? (zsh, bash, etc)

/usr/bin/attr -p /WIASP/QSYS.LIB/WFIARCHIVE.LIB/\\\$\\\$ARCSRC\\\$\\\$.FILE/A000096206.MBR CREATE_TIME MODIFY_TIME DATA_SIZE

Do you get the same error of A path name is too long?

[m-tyler]

Using the internal PASE, QSH, and QP2TERM all return the same error.

[worksofliam]

@m-tyler Fun! Looks like, maybe, there's too many escape characters. I will have to fiddle with this.

Any chance you can share the CRT* commands for that library, source file and member so I can create a test case?

[m-tyler]

I don't have the exact commands used as they are built into the CMS product. But I replicated the objects using these commands. I am not certain the IASP has any play on this error.
