Members with nonstandard names
Some tools and products create MVS files with nonstandard names. Nonstandard names do not adhere to MVS file name conventions. IBM® Developer for z/OS® provides settings for displaying these members in the Remote Systems view.
When you enable the Show members with non-standard
name option on the MVS Files preference
page, the Remote Systems view displays members
with lowercase names or names that contain nonstandard character sets.
The CA Endevor Software Change Manager, for example, supports file
names that begin with numbers. The Show members with non-standard
name preference provides for showing these file names
in the Remote Systems view. You can then use
the menu items in the Remote Systems view to
edit, browse, rename, and delete them. You can also include nonstandard
member names in the With name field of the Remote
z/OS Search window.
Restriction: For nonstandard
names that contain lowercase characters, only the Delete and Rename menu
items are available in the Remote Systems view.
In this case, local cache cannot be displayed in the Remote
Systems view. The Windows file
system is not case-sensitive, and lowercase cache file names might
conflict with similar uppercase file names.
