Multiple file error on HP-UX when reserved shell chars are used
Problem
Resolution
When sending multiple files using the command line CFTUTIL you get the following error:
$ cftutil send part=WINTEST,idf=SWIFT, FNAME=*@*/T24MIG/T24DEV/bnk/bnk.data/ ALLIANCE/F.ALLIANCE.INPUT/
sh: /T24MIG/T24DEV/bnk/bnk.data/ALLIANCE/F.ALLIANCE.INPUT/: Execute permission .
$
This is due to the ''@'' sign being a Reserved character in some shell''s.
Resolution
To send mutilple files from a shell which has the ''@'' sign as a reserved character you will need to enter a backslash ''\'' before the ''@'' sign. Any character preceeded by a ''\'' loses its special meaning.
$ cftutil send part=WINTEST, idf=SWIFT, FNAME=\@/T24MIG/T24DEV/bnk/bnk.data/ALLIANCE/F.ALLIANCE.INPUT/
