DSFS sed: couldn't open temporary file ./sed2oJfvp: EDC5121I Invalid argument.

    Hi,

    We have installed DSFS.
    When I `cd` to a PDS and do a `sed -i ...`,
    sed wants to create a tmp file in current directory, however,
    this tmp file is not a valid member name.

    Would be nice if someon could write a path, that would make sed
    create the tmp file in fx /tmp.

    Hi Morten,

    I never worked with DSFS, but as in idea - avoid using the -i key:

    sed 's/a/b/' b > tmp; cat tmp > b (or maybe cp command here); rm tmp

    Thanks,
    Alex
