Re: CALL SYSTEM USING command WAIT

[Mohamed Abusharkh <soccermo@YAHOO.COM>]

Hi Jamie,

I was able to run the SQR that executes PSPACCRL Cobol
from my Win95 station, but only for one benefit plan.
I was also able to execute the COBOL program directly
from a DOS prompt on my Win95 machine.  So, I believe
we have the license to run from client.

Another gentleman responded saying that this command
does not work with windows 95 where windows 95 is an
evolution of the windows 3.1 kernel. Windows 3.1 is
always in a NOWAIT stage and I cannot use that
parameter. This command is for NT and VMS only.  What
do you think about that?

Thanks for your assistance.
