Blanks in parameter values

Post by PilotBaha »

We just recently discovered that parameters supplied to dsjob scripts like InWord="Blanks are problem" create an issue. If the assignment is InWord="Blanksareproblem" it works fine. What would be the recommendation to solve this issue? (I did use the search function but couldn't find anything)

thanks,

Ray,
after I posted this error, I realized this could be a in-house problem. We have 3 different scripts to run a dsjob command and handle the parameter build for -param generation. I think this is a problem in our parameter building process rather than the DS issue.

Thanks anyway..
