When select is issued on server level 6.x using CONCAT scalar function, returned result is hexadecimal although it should be text. Following statement will give observed result on 6.x server: tsm: TSM> select FILESPACE_NAME ||HL_NAME||LL_NAME from backups where NODE_NAME = 'CLIENT' Unnamed[1]: 5C5C6F6C77656E5C65245C54455354434153455C31303034373239393636 Unnamed[1]: 5C5C6F6C77656E5C65245C5445535443415345 Unnamed[1]: 5C5C6F6C77656E5C65245C54455354434153455C303134383635 The same statement on the 5.x server will return correct output: tsm: TSM> select FILESPACE_NAME||HL_NAME||LL_NAME from backups where node_name = 'CLIENT' ANR2963W This SQL query may produce a very large result table, or may require a significant amount of time to compute.
