Try escaping the round brackets:-
Code:
ssh user@host "ENDJOB JOB\(I5OSDRV\)"

Hello
Try escaping the brackets, or use single quotes.

Thanks for the input. I have tried escaping with brackets and using the single quotes but getting "bsh: ENDJOB: not found" error.

Try sourcing your .profile:-
Code:
ssh user@host ". ~user/.profile 1> /dev/null 2> /dev/null; ENDJOB JOB\(I5OSDRV\)"

or use absolute path of ENDJOB
Code:
ssh user@host "/path/ENDJOB JOB\(I5OSDRV\)"
