Symptoms
Using special characters in an argument for any job ran from Applications Manager command line API, awrun or sorun, in UNIX causes the job to fail.
Cause
The special characters in the parameter are not being interpreted correctly due to the special character not being evaluated correctly. For example, if you include the '#' character in a parameter in UNIX, the pound sign is interpreted as a space or as a comment line if it is at the beginning of the string and not as the '#' character.
Solution
To solve this problem, enclose the entire parameter value in 'single' quotes and the parameter will be evaluated correctly. For more information about awrun, please see the Development Guide, Section 15.2 awrun - The Command Line API for Requested Tasks.
