Trouble with COMMAND in Quick

[Robert J.M. Edis]

G'day all

Thanks to those who responded to my call for ideas.  The problem has been
resolved, somehow ;)

The syntax:

COMMAND "$HOMEDIR/profile.dvep" LABEL "SSEP Development" &
  CLEAR ALL REFRESH ALL

is now working fine.  Our UNIX admin person did 'something' and it now works
though he doesn't know what he did.

Bob: We didn't have to relink the script.
Dirk: The paths are correct and I can execute the script from any dir at the
UNIX prompt.
Ron: The permissions on the remote directory were fine and I have run this
script directly many times before.

The only thing the UNIX admin person did was to create a new .profile for my
account that called another profile script that called the screen (that
calls another profile script that calls another Quick menu!).  I logged off
and back on and the screen worked!  I can now execute the screen and the
scripts directly as well.

Thanks again for the help guys.

I'm assuming the error message displayed is from the command labelled
"Using link". It looks like the variable HOMEDIR conatins
"./home/gener/v63oln" .  Is the "./" (dot slash) supposed to be there ? 
If you are running the app from the /home/gener directory, then the
shell is looking for the "home" directory under your current working
directory. IE. /home/gener/home/gener/v63oln. Try creating a directory
/home/gener/bin and putting your shell scripts there. Add this directory
to your PATH (set it in you .profile). Make sure this directory is in
the PATH variable before "./" (if "./" is in your PATH) otherwise it
will search your current directory before /home/gener/bin. You should
not have to use the full path location when executing the script. HP-UX
should search through the directories specified in the PATH variable
until it finds the script.
