RE: QSHELL question for find command

Adam,

I think the shell may be expanding that wildcard into all the file names, so it 
probably depends on how many files are present as to what results you get.

Try this syntax: 

find /dir1/dir2/dir3/dir4 -name '*' -print

subject: QSHELL question for find command

Hi Everyone,

I have an issue for a client with the find command showing different
results on different systems.

On one system the command
find /dir1/dir2/dir3/dir4/* returns a list of files in the last directory
in the path.

On the other system the same command returns
qsh: 001-0085 Too many arguments specified on command.

Even if I cd into the end directory and just do find * I still get the same
result, so I'm assuming there is some sort of command default coming into
play? Even after uninstalling QSHELL and restoring the licensed program
from the system that does work I still get the same result. Both systems
are at V5R2 with the same cume and group levels.

Any help greatly appreciated !

Thanks
