RUN COMMAND - HPUX

[Joe Boyle]

to see many other approaches, type the text below at Google; 

site:lists.sowder.com powerh-l setsystemval unix

The old PH 7.33/7.03  manuals used to have lots of examples but not sure
what the PH Books set contains, it might be worth a browse.

You could even try the approach below,

Temp t_comm char 80 reset at startup

Let t_comm = &
"ksh tests1 " + truncate (passtext1) + " " +... + " " + truncate (passtextn)

RUN COMMAND t_comm  ON ERROR CONTINUE

And use quiz syntax 

choose item_name_1 systemvalue ("$1" ), ... item_name_n systemvalue ("$n" )

Regards, Joe.

Subject: RUN COMMAND - HPUX

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.
