Hi experts,
I have a shell script (korn shell on aix) where I am giving find command with file options which are read from a configuration file. For some reason I am getting an error find: 0652-017. I have put set -x in the shell script and the command looks okay. If I cut it and paste it in the dollar prompt the command works. I have spent so many hours trying to find out the problem, but no success. Here is the output from the shell

+ find /tmp -type f -a ! \( -name "*.Z" -o -name "*.gz" -o -name "DUMMY_*" -o -name "testfile_160108.gz" \) -a -name "testfile_1*" -a -mtime +0 -print
find: 0652-017 ! \( -name "*.Z" -o -name "*.gz" -o -name "DUMMY_*" -o -name "testfile_160108.gz" \) is not a valid option.

any idea why it works when pasted on the dollar prompt but not from within a shell ?
