Error description
When running an IBM Rational ClearCase cleartool find command for a specific attribute, you get different results in the command shell than you do in the cleartool interactive shell: Example 1: In a Microsoft Windows command prompt, nothing is returned in the command: M:\test\none_test\dir?ct find . -version 'Defect_Num=='RFC-12333'' -print M:\apply_label_test\symlink_none_test\dir? In the cleartool interactive shell, you get the following: cleartool? find . -version 'Defect_Num=='RFC-12333'' -print .\foo1.txt@@\main\1 cleartool? Example 2: If you use the syntax in the info center for the find command, you see: M:\test\none_test\dir?ct find . -version 'Defect_Num == 'RFC-12333'' -print cleartool: Error: Extra arguments: '==' Usage: find { pname ... [-depth | -nrecurse | -directory] | [pname ...] -all [-visible | -nvisible] | -avobs [-visible | -nvisible] } [-name 'pattern'] [-cview] [-user login-name] [-group group-name] [-type {f|d|l}...] [-follow] [-kind object-kind] [-nxname] [-element query] [-branch query] [-version query] {-print | -exec command-invocation | -ok command-invocation} ... In the cleartool interactive shell, you see: cleartool? find . -version 'Defect_Num == 'RFC-12333'' -print .\foo1.txt@@\main\1 WORKAROUND: Use the cleartool interactive shell instead of command prompt.

Problem conclusion
Single-command mode and Interactive mode syntax does differ, see here http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/cchelp/v7r0m0/index .jsp?topic=/com.ibm.rational.clearcase.cc_ref.doc/topics/cle artool.htm (see the Windows command-line processing section). These syntax requirements have not changed since early versions of ClearCase, any change now would be high risk and have a negative impact on our existing customers who have their scripts, etc set around the current requirements.
