Specifically I'm writing a program in perl to audit the files on the live filesystems with respect to the files stored in TSM. Previously I posted a simple program in C (M$ Visual C++ 5.0) that performs this same function, but I prefer to have the program in PERL. Currently the program scans the live filesystems to grab a list of all files. Then the program executes 'q files' to get a list of filespaces stored in TSM. The next step I'm having problems with. Using the list of filespaces I execute "dsmc q backup $FILESPACE -su=yes -filesonly". On the command line (typed by hand) this command works. I'm thinking there is some evaluation going on withing the PERL program that is preventing any output. If I could even get error output to determine the problem, that would help. The thought that some evaluation is happening and causing the problem is why I am trying to access the filespace using the FSID. As with the previous program, I'm happy to post the new program for all to use. Mike
