IJ25472: TSBUHELPER CHECKPROTECTION REMOVES SPACE FROM NAME

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• This problem happens when using Spectrum Scale with
  Spectrum Archive EE. Spectrum Archive EE doesn't find
  migration target files because the "tsbuhelper" script
  changes original filenames input.
  
  "tsbuhelper checkprotection" command reads file records
  from input file and copies them to output file only if
  the file specified in the record is backed up. However,
  if the filename contains spaces, this function doesn't
  work correctly as the parser uses space to read tokens
  from the input record.
  
  Reported In:
  Spectrum Scale 5.0.4.x
