Need a little HP 3000 script help.

[Craig Lalley]

Ken, 

I think you have a hidden display character.

Can you cut and paste the small job that works, into the job that doesn't?

If you know the trick to turn on display characters or

FCOPY FROM=JOBSTREAM;TO=;HEX;CHAR

To see if you can spot the hidden characters.

-Craig

Ken, something swallowed a quote mark…typically this would suggest that a previous command got its closing “ swallowed up or had a variable that gave an unmatched one.

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?

!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 *************************************************************

A string operator was expected but none was found. (CIERR 9755) (PARM=-31)

Invalid first character in command name. (CIERR 9090)
> :              + RHT("00!HPDATE",2)

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.
