DSXchange

I am having the following two consecutives in my shell script. The second command which is dsjob says:
Status code = -9999

echo dsjob -run -jobstatus ${DATASTAGE_PARAM} ${DSPROJ} ${DATASTAGE_JOB}

dsjob -run -jobstatus ${DATASTAGE_PARAM} "${DSPROJ}" "${DATASTAGE_JOB}"

But the first echo prints the entire command correctly and if I just copy it and put it manually in the unix prompt, it runs fine.

Can somebody help me in this regard?

Thanks in advance

What are the values of the shell variables?

they are proper strings. for example,

dsjob -run -jobstatus ${DATASTAGE_PARAM} "${DSPROJ}" "${DATASTAGE_JOB}"

becomes

dsjob -run -jobstatus -param parm1='abc' -param parm2='abc def' abcproj abc
