RUN COMMAND

[Vidyasagar Goparaju]

Try this:
 
LET T_FILE = "A" + staff-id

IF NOT SETSYSTEMVAL("A",TRUN(T_FILE))
THEN ERROR "Cannot set variable A"

LET T_FILE = "B" + staff-id

IF NOT SETSYSTEMVAL("B",TRUN(T_FILE))
THEN ERROR "Cannot set variable B"

When you are done... after the COBOL run, run the following:

IF NOT DELETESYSTEMVAL("A")
THEN ERROR "Cannot reset variable A"

IF NOT DELETESYSTEMVAL("B")
THEN ERROR "Cannot reset variable B"

Does it help if you try using exported env vars in place of soft links
as
below ?

Temp t_afile char* 50
Let t_afile = "a=fullpath/A" + staff-id + ";export a"
run command t_afile

Temp t_bfile char* 50
Let t_bfile = "b=fullpath/B" + staff-id + ";export b"
run command t_bfile

Hello all,

What is the best way to convert RUN COM in QDESIGN in MPE to UNIX?
The scenario is in PROCEDURE DESIGNER
run command "purge file A" + staff-id
run command "purge file B" + staff-id
run command "QTP" (to populate file A)
run command "file a = A" + staff-id
run command "file b = B" + staff-id
run command "COBOLX"

COBOLX uses A as input and B as output. the staff-id is dynamic based on


Currently we are using the following command
run command "rm A" + staff-id
run command "rm B" + staff-id
run command "QTP" (to populate file A)
run command "ln -sf A" + staff-id + " a"
run command "ln -sf B" + staff-id + " b"
run command "$NLRUNCBL COBOLX.acu"

Eventhough the data is created in file A+staff-id, COBOL seems not to
read
the 
data from there and printing out blanks.


Thanks & regards,
Ghani.
