Cognos 10.1.1 replaces ' ' by '+' in "View the report now" file names

After upgrading to 10.1.1  I noticed that choosing to run a report using "View the report now" option using CSV or Excel formats changes report file name replacing blanks with "+".

So viewing a report called "This is a report" opens Excel using file name "This+is+a+report".
Not sure if this is a "bug" or a a "feature" of 10.1.1.  Personally, I find the new behavior highly annoying since it forces me to replace all the "+" whenever I save the result to disk.

The file name remains unchanged (i.e. with " ") if I run the report with the "Save" option and then download to my file system.

Guess I will have to start using "_" instead of " " in my report names...

Hi Gene,

I have the same issue at the moment - did you manage to find a solution?

Someone told me it might be related to a setting in IIS.
