Fine enough, it did produce the output but it was same as 'ls -R'
[shridhar@neptune shridhar]$ allow_null_glob_expansion=true
[shridhar@neptune shridhar]$ export allow_null_glob_expansion
[shridhar@neptune shridhar]$ ls -R *.cbl|more
The output produced was same as 'ls -R'. Did I do anything wrong?
