Hi,

I'm afraid you're not giving us much to go on here. Telling us "we fail to do so" gives us no clue what the issue might be. Do you have any error messages?

Catexp/Catimp date back to when dinosaurs roamed the earth! Is there any reason you are using this method to export catalog data? The option to define a package (File > Create Package) is much more user-friendly for exporting parts of catalogs.

In the meantime, take a look at the Data Manager User Guide, Chapter 31 (catexp) to make sure you are using correct syntax:
