Remote mailboxes

[Ravenscroft, Wanda L]

Believe you can do DCL commands from Powerhouse by putting the $ sign
in front of the command.

My personal favorite is the following:

Define the logical in your command procedure as you did before and
then in Powerhouse, do the following:

define MY_MBX char*?? = GETSYSTEMVAL("MY_MBX", LOGICAL)
		OR
define MY_MBX numeric*?? = NCONVERT(GETSYSTEMVAL("MY_MBX", LOGICAL))

I had to do math with my logicals so I had to define them as numeric
and then convert them.

Has anyone had any success accessing a mailbox on another node?  I can open
it in DCL as "NODE2::MY_MBX:", but PH doesn't seem to like that
specification as the Open Name (it says: "Invalid file open name.").  I
tried using something like "MY_MBX" as the Open Name, and defining a logical
for that as "NODE2::MY_MBX:", but when I try to read from it with a QUICK
screen, I get "Data access error. (MY_MBX*01)?%SYSTEM-F-SHMNOTCNCT, shared
memory not connected".


Thanks,
