Error description

  • On a Windows based system you use the LotusScript Dir function
    to list
    directory contents to fine a file.  If the filename contains
    non-ASCII text the
    Dir function returns "?" question marks in place of the
    non-ASCII text.
    If you try the same function on a Linux Operating System it does
    return the
    correct values.
    
    The Domino Designer help does not specify that you may encounter
    different
    results depending on the Operating System.
    
    NOTE: it seems that the Dir function is uses an Operation System
    equivalent
    such as Dir for Windows and LS for Linux.  Running the Dir
    command from a
    Windows cmd prompt returns the same results.
