Changing Excel sheetname with Datatransfer IBM i ACS Merged

After upgrade OS V7R1 to V7R3 we have to migrate from IBM i Access for Windows to the new Java Based IBM Access Client Solutions. Also because of the change from Windows7 to Windows 10.
We create daily multiple Excel files from Query files from IBM i with Data Transfer (with .dtf files). The sheetnames in Excel named Sheet1, Sheet2, Sheet3, etc.
In the new IBM ACS, with data transfer (.dtfx files) the sheetnames in Excel are created as "libraryname.filename>Sheet 1".
In the AcsConfig.properties file we can change the "libraryname.filename" in key com.ibm.iaccess.dataxfer.SheetId="", but we can not get rid of the character ">".


Use Case:

1. IBM i Access Client Solutions
2. Data Transfer
3. From IBM i
4. DTFX file
5. output file XLS of XLSX.
