Hello TSMers

I am trying to perform an archive using the -filelist option on a unix
system.

The filelist contains a list of files of the format;

/a/path/to/a/'file1'
/a/path/to/a/'file2'

unfortunatley (apparently) there is no way the filenames can be changed
such that they do not contain single quotes...

When issuing

Dsmc archive -filelist=/path/to/the/filelist


TSM generates a line of errors similar to;

ANS1228E Sending of object '/a/path/to/*' failed
ANS4005E Error processing '/a/path/to/*': file not found
ANS1228E Sending of object '/a/path/to/*' failed
ANS4005E Error processing '/a/path/to/*': file not found


.. It seems to truncate the given path by the last element and replace
this with '*'


..I have tried a few different combo's of escaping & quoting etc.. but
no joy yet...  anyone else needed to do this before?


Matt.
