Hi!

What flavor of UNIX are you using? See the man pages on the native system on tar

how about harcoding the exact path to each file in your system() command, which should look like:

system("/sbin/tar cvf /users/shaik/p.tar /data");

And notic what the prompt says when the system() is being executed.

Hi!

Good you solved the problem. Probably some other version or program called tar is getting executed. Check your $PATH variable, in one of which path, there should be another tar located.
