Re: [sqr-users] Call System using WAIT

["Don Mellen" <donm@ontko.com>]

There's a lot of info on this in the archives.

I haven't used "call system using" on windows in a long while (usually
unix/linux anymore), but based on a quick scan of the archives, I'd suggest
trying something like....

let $Script = 'D:\psoft\uhhr89t\uh_scripts\Active_dir_output.cmd'
let $cmdproc = getenv('ComSpec')
let $command = $cmdproc || ' /k "' || $Script  || '"'
call system using $command #Status WAIT

HTH,
Don
