RE: Passing variable with white space to Qshell

Adding the double quotes is my problem. I've tried every way I can
think of including adding the double quotes in the database data. No
matter what I try QSHELL is parsing the path at the first blank
character regardless of the fact that the path contains double quotes.
I must be missing something obvious.

When I run this in debug and look at the &CMD string, I see the
following:
'/home/AICOPR/IFSPurge.qsh "/Client files/Input/Black_H/Archive/*.* "
30'


Yes. Your problem is in the script. Have you tried calling the script by
hand? It won't work if there are spaces in ${1}
