Need a little HP 3000 script help.

[Matt Ohmes]

It's been about 20 years since I wrote an HP3000 script, but it looks like
a problem with the continuation character (&).  This is just a flat out
guess.  You could try using two & instead of just one.

Hello all, I know this is not an HP list server, but I need help with my
job script that runs my Powerhouse Programs.

Can anyone tell me why this script would not work on one machine but work
fine on another?

!COMMENT *************************************************************
!COMMENT * Set variables used to archive and send files
!COMMENT *************************************************************
!SETVAR CURRDATE RHT("00!HPYEAR",2) &
!              + RHT("00!HPMONTH",2) &
!              + RHT("00!HPDATE",2)
!SETVAR CURRTIME RHT("00!HPHOUR",2) &
!              + RHT("00!HPMINUTE",2)

When I run the code in a small job by itself it works every time when I run
it in the nightly job I get this:

> :COMMENT *************************************************************
> :COMMENT * Set variables used to archive and send files
> :COMMENT *************************************************************
> :SETVAR CURRDATE RHT("00!HPYEAR",2) &
A string operator was expected but none was found. (CIERR 9755) (PARM=-31)
> :              + RHT("00!HPMONTH",2) &
Invalid first character in command name. (CIERR 9090)
> :              + RHT("00!HPDATE",2)
Invalid first character in command name. (CIERR 9090)
> :SETVAR CURRTIME RHT("00!HPHOUR",2) &
A string operator was expected but none was found. (CIERR 9755) (PARM=-31)
> :              + RHT("00!HPMINUTE",2)
Invalid first character in command name. (CIERR 9090)

I have checked everywhere I can on the web;
      -          Found additional comma’s that were not needed from one
      site
      -          Changed the variable names to NOT include “HP” in the name
      according to another site.

I have no idea now.

Ken
