  Ignoring the issue origin and the apparent incorrect output from the 
NAMEFMT feedback... Because the naming format is not always guaranteed 
to remain the same, IMO the best way to deal with the issue of a naming 
format established as other than what is desired, is to learn to deal 
with it.  Dealing with the variability is an effective requirement for 
scripting; i.e. generally necessary to code scripts to be agnostic with 
regard to which naming gets established upon a connection, lest they 
suddenly start failing when the assumed naming changes.

  Given the HOMEDIR is established for the user as described, but the 
NAMEFMT 0 is desirable instead, just issue the following to /correct/ 
the naming [where the 257 "QGPL" is current library. is the desired 
effect; i.e. optionally replace the "qgpl" with a different library name]:

    cd /qsys.lib/qgpl.lib
    namefmt 0
