Because being inside the GUI during the operation does not expose you to shell expansions... Whenever you see a wildcard, such as an asterisk, consider the effects that ensue by leaving it exposed to the shell, where the shell will do the expansion (or try to). Keep in mind that in Restore and Query Backup operations, that the "from" spec may be satisfied by fully resolved file system object names (as shell expansion will provide) or by wildcards to TSM, where it will look in its own filespace storage rather than the file system. This is particularly important to realize when the object set you want to operate upon does not (yet) exist in the file system. Richard Sims
