/usr/sbin/mkboottape.sh[166]: syntax error at line 557 : `'' unmatched

Question:

Env:
  AIX 4.2
  RISC 390  
  sysback trial 4.1.0.1007 = sysback.rte  4.1.1.6

Problem:
  The customer runs this command:
  sysback -xf /dev/rmt0

  He gets this error message:

Rewinding /dev/rmt0 ...
/usr/sbin/mkboottape.sh[166]: syntax error at line 557 : `'' unmatched
Unable to create bootable tape

Looking at script /usr/sbin/mkboottape.sh

if [ ! -f $instprog ]
   then if [ "$bootonly" = y ]
                        then msg 999 '\\07The "System Backup and BOS Install Util
ities" must be installed to\\n\\tcreate a bootable tape."

It appears you are missing a ' at the end of message.

Once that was added, it fixed the problem.

This is fixed in sysback.rte 4.1.1.7 or 
                 sysback trial 4.1.0.1008
