Hello Robert,
Back in the day, I used to wonder why we wrote documentation - folks never read it I thought. And they still don't read it, apparently. ;^)
Seeing as you installed V7.3B, I think it appropriate to point you to the V7.3B Server Installation and Configuration Guide. You'll find it at
http://h71000.www7.hp.com/doc/82final/6540/6540pro.html. In particular, read Chapter 5.8 - "Converting Encoded File Names from ODS-2 to ODS-5".
You see, ODS-2 does not support extended file names and things like spaces in file names. So, PATHWORKS and Advanced Server will encode the non-ODS2 compatible characters in a file name by replacing them with __XX where XX=ascii hex value of the character. for example, a space in a file name is encoded as "__20" (that's underscore underscore two zero).
Now that you converted the disk to ODS-5 and ODS-5 supports the extended file names, there is no need for the encoding and Advanced Server assumes there is no encoding. So when it sees "__20" it no longer changes it to a " " (space), it leaves it as "__20" which is exactly what you see.
You need to run the PWCONVERT utility against the disk to get rid of all those encoded characters.
Hope this helps,
