PM83865: Report Studio: External Data initially fails to find files on mapped network drives

APAR status

• Closed with unknown close code.

Error description

• When the External Data Source relies on a local physical drive
  the report successfully executes.    However, if the External
  Data Source file is located on a mapped network drive then a
  prompt to locate the file is generated when running the report.
  Clicking the "browse" button, when prompted, allows you to
  manually locate the file on the mapped network drive which
  allows the report to run as expected.
