mfcatxml - syntax error near unexpected token

When trying to export the Enterprise Server JES catalog to XML on a Linux/Unix/AIX system using this command:

mfcatxml FUNC(EXP) OUTFILE(OUT.XML)

You receive this error mesage:

-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('

The problem with your export utility is that the braces "(" & ")" need to be escaped from the unix shell ..

mfcatxml FUNC\\(EXP\\) OUTFILE\\(OUT.XML\\)

With double quotes it worked fine in RHEL

mfcatxml "func(exp) outfile(IOAT_CATALOG.xml)"
