hi Fran,

Enter an FTP subcommand.
CD /TRSFDD
250-NAMEFMT set to 1.
250 "/TRSFDD" is current directory.


The reason it's changing to name format 1 is because you've put a slash in front of the directory name.

In other words, it thinks that "/TRSFDD" is a place in the IFS, but if you had said "CD TRSFDD" it would think that it was a library.

The reason you can't switch back to namefmt 0 is because "/TRSFDD" is a directory in the root filesystem of the IFS, it is NOT a library. In order to switch back, you'd have to do

       CD /QSYS.LIB/TRSFDD.LIB

Then, it should be possible to change the namefmt back to 0.

(Though, if you omitted the / from the TRSFDD in the first place, you wouldn't have switched to namefmt 1, thus eliminating the need to switch back...)
