You shouldn't need the TERM parameter. QUICK on NT/2000/XP doesn't really
use a terminal. Rather it operates in a command window. I just created a
simple screen and ran it from a BAT file using QUICK AUTO=TEST.

Hi 

Thanks for the interesting discussion but could somebody tell me if the
environment variable TERM applies to Windows version of quick? (I am away
from the office and cannot test it but want to sleep soundly knowing that it
will work) (ps I was using TERM=VT220 under HP-UX). 

Thanks

My understanding is that DQ's are a bit smarter than VMS mailboxes 

(don't know about the others !) 

DQ's are defined in the PH dictionary and are 'proper' files with fields 

etc and can be written and read to normally. 

The thing that sets them apart from normal DB files is that they are 

self deleting - the act of reading each record in them (with Quick, Quiz 

or QTP) deletes it with no other programming overhead. 

cheers

Unique to the AS/400? 

Sounds like vms mailboxes, mpe msg files and unix pipes to me :-)
