Hi,

When I do
dbexport <dbname > -ss , I get error on the dbexport file the error is

The correct syntax to use dbexport is:

dbexport <database> [-X] [-c] [-q] [-d] [-ss]
[{ -o <dir> | -t <tapedev> -b <blksz> -s <tapesz> [-f <sql-command-file>] }]

You don't need a < nor a > sign.

You should look at the runtime rrors generated to see what the real problem is.
