Thanks Elardus, but however many quotes I insert they are appear to be ignored.
I've tried the command from OMVS and get the same result (see below).

£ /bin/tsocmd XMIT ZOS113.SA 'DS('SA2.DMXPORT.F5')'

Old trap for anyone trying string parsing... I sometimes fall in that trap too.
;-)
And you can't do a TRACE to see how lines are parsed and resolved... ouch...
>cmd="/bin/tsocmd XMIT" target "'DS("dsn")'"
Try this (adding a single quote character to the right of ( and to the left of
) ):
cmd="/bin/tsocmd XMIT" target "'DS('"dsn"')'"
Note: This is DS, then (, then single quote character, then double quote
character, then variablename dsn, then double quote, single quote and then ).
This is so that the datasetname have single quote chars to the left and right,
all inside the parenthesis.
Something like this after parsing and resolving var names: cmd="/bin/tsocmd
XMIT xyz 'DS('hlq.mlq.lq')'"
(Double quote outside string and only single quote inside the string.)
A$$uming of course, as you write, the characters from D to ) are both inside
double and single quote characters.
Geez, I hope I got it right... ;-)
HTH!
