[LDM #DZH-705263]: %N

Mark,

I assume that you're referring to the pqact(1) FILE action and using the 
creation-time of the data-product to construct the pathname.  Please tell me if 
this is incorrect.

String-replacement based on data-product creation-time uses the strftime(3) 
function and, unfortunately, calling that function with a "%N" conversion 
specification is non-standard and will result in undefined behavior on some 
systems.

Are the product-identifiers of the data-products in question not sufficiently 
unique that you can't create unique pathnames?
