The quotesareliteral option specifies
whether single quotation marks (') or double quotation marks (") are
interpreted literally, when they are included in a file list specification
on a filelist option.
Ordinarily, Tivoli® Storage Manager requires
you to use single or double quotation marks to delimit file specifications
that contain space characters. Some file systems, such as the IBM® General Parallel File System
(GPFS™), allow single and double
quotation marks in file and directory names.
To prevent errors
that would otherwise occur, when file specifications are included
on a filelist option and they contain single quotation
marks (') or double quotation marks ("), set quotesareliteral
yes. When quotesareliteral is set to yes,
quotation marks that are included in a file list specification on
a filelist option are interpreted literally, as quotation
marks, and not as delimiters.
This option applies to any command
that accepts a filelist option as command parameter.
Supported Clients
This option is valid
for all supported platforms. The option is applied to any command
that takes a file list specification as a parameter.
Options File
Place this option in the client
user options file (dsm.opt).
