Excel for OS/2: Can’t Recognize AS/400 Drive PSS ID Number: Q71071 Article last modified on 06-23-1993 PSS database name: W_eXceL

2.20 2.21

OS/2

Summary:

Excel for OS/2 will produce garbage characters in the directory lists when trying to access a file on a drive produced by the IBM PC Support software.

This software is similar to network software because it makes an AS/400 hard drive appear like a network-accessible drive. Similar behavior has been reported in Word for OS/2 version 1.10.

Microsoft and IBM have confirmed this to be a problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.

More Information:

It has been reported that files can be saved to and read from an AS/400 drive connected in this manner, but the directory listings are garbled.
