Extra display characters on Zos display when DSNAME = 44

[LeonBylsma]

Thanks for all the replies so far, we are realy getting a lot of help from you. My latest question is : When we connect to Zos via SFTP (OpenSSH) and switch out of OMVS into Zos using the 'cd //...' command and when we then do a display command 'ls -l' or 'ls' then any Zos dataset name that is 44 characters long, displays extra unknown characters as part of the display (see display below in RED). We try to strip the name from the display to automate the fetching of the file and these extra characters causes the script to try to fetch incorrect filenames ....

C:\Documents and Settings\f2058146.FNBJNB01>sftp ftp99999@10.33.255.17
Connecting to 10.33.255.17...
sftp> cd //ftp99999
sftp> ls -l
