Quiz on AS/400 - Operating system command

[Latimer, Richard]

Daniel,

Use the page width statement - ie set page width xxx - so it's wide enough
to accomodate your string. Remember the maximum width is 255 !

You don't specify how you are going to run this but one word of caution with
QTEMP - every process has it's own qtemp and it's very easy when doing batch
things for the process creating the work file to be in a different thread
(or whatever the correct IBM term is for it!) from the process that is going
to use the work file. 
We have a number of jobs where QTP creates a subfile for Quiz to read and it
doesn't work unless you create the subfile in a "proper" library.


cheers

Subject: Quiz on AS/400 - Operating system command


Hello All,

Does any know how to key an OS command that if it exceeds 80 characters, the
next line can be used?

I'm building a subfile using SET REPORT DEVICE DISC QTEMP/BOB to build a set
of OS commands and then using USE QTEMP/BOB(BOB) to execute them.  However,
the file QTEMP/BOB has a maximum of 80 characters and some of the OS commnds
will exceed that limit.

For example, the FMTOPT(*NOCHK) portion of the command below would be cut
off.

$CPYF FROMFILE(ABCDEFGHIJ/FILENAMEXX) TOFILE(QTEMP/F) CRTFILE(*NO)
MBROPT(*ADD) FMTOPT(*NOCHK)

Help?
