Z/OS cataloged datasets

Hi

I get the following error when changing to mvs datasets :

sftp> cd //nsyy548

Can't change directory: "//NSYY548" is not a directory

this problem is for mvs datasets allocated in a usercatalog pointed by an alias

If the files are in the master catalog it works fine...any ideas...

thanks in advance

Yes, you are right. The code to navigate dataset levels as "directories" is kinda tricky, and we weren't handling aliases properly.

It looks likes the fix in this case is very simple.
We will include it in the next maintenance release.

Thanks for reporting this.

This has been fixed in the 1.2.1 release.

Hi

I download 1.2.1 and tested the alias / usercatalog problem and it works fine.

Thank you for your support.
