RUN COMMAND - HPUX

[nicolas.au@bnpparibas.com]

Hi All,

We are migrating from PH 8.29.D on HP3000 to PH 8.43.D on HP9000 (HPUX)
using Eloquence.

We have experienced a little problem in QUICK  using the procedural verb
'RUN COMMAND'

We are trying to execute a script file using the procedural verb 'RUN
COMMAND'  using the Korn Shell  '. scriptfile'  (dot) command format.

What we want is to execute the scriptfile that containing a set of commands
in the current shell environment so that any variable set by the commands
in the scriptfile will be able to be retrieved by the QUICK's program that
executes the scriptfile  using the GETSYSTEMVAL function.

For example what we are trying to do is :

RUN COMMAND ". tests1 "  ON ERROR CONTINUE

We got the error "sh: .: Execute permission denied."

What have we done wrong?

What we ultimately want is to be able to execute a QUIZ program using the
'RUN COMMAND' verb and want the QUICK program to be able to pick up any
variables that are set by the QUIZ program using the GETSYSTEMVAL function.
We could do these things easily in HP3000 but with HP9000, it is more
difficult because of the different shell environment that the QUIZ program
is run.

Any info on how to use the RUN COMMAND to execute scriptfile in the same
shell environment will be very much appreciated.

TIA.

Nicolas.
