Gene - I seriously doubt that the problem has anything to do with quotes or spaces. (Unix shell redirection works fine regardless of spaces around '>', in all the shells I've worked with.) I think the problem is the great big assumption in the command... as to current directory, and writability in whatever area you happen to end up in. Whenever you use Action=Command, USE FULL PATH NAMES. Never assume anything about current location: always specify exactly what you need. If in doubt about what ended up in the TSM server as a command, use Query commands under dsmadmc; or use dsmadmc in the first place to do serious systems work. Further, start with a trivial shell script for testing/trialing, which just writes text to Stdout, for redirection to the chosen file. Richard Sims
