RE: [sqr-users] Unable to Move or Del from CALL SYSTEM...

[Steve Cavill <steve.cavill@infoclarity.com.au>]

It does look like the files are open.  The difference between move and copy
of course is that move attempts to delete the files after copying them, but
copy does not.
You could test by calling a bat file which issues a pause command instead of
the move command, then try to move the files manually in a cod window.  If
the manual move fails then you can work try to work out why the files cannot
be deleted.  Of course if the manual move DOES work then I have no idea :-)

The program closes all files prior to trying to move them.  Also, 'copy'
works for us; it's 'move' that doesn't work...go figure.

Again, any help would be appreciated.

Try this. ALSO BE SURE THE FILE(S) YOU ARE MOVING ARE CLOSED.  I have made
that mistake many times. You cannot move/delete/rename opened files.

(IMPORTPREFIX is #define'd and referenced to SETENV.sqc for the UNC path for

files)
$File_complete is the filename.  You should be able to put *.* in its place.


let $ofile1 = '{IMPORTPREFIX}' || '\Procard\Archive\'
let $ifile1 = '{IMPORTPREFIX}' || '\Procard\Input\'


let $rcp1 = 'cmd /c copy '
let $copy-command = $rcp1 || $ifile1 || $file_complete || ' ' || $ofile1

CALL SYSTEM using $copy-command #command-status WAIT

Hello,

We have a process which backs up output files, and another one that moves
output files.  Both use the CALL SYSTEM syntax to perform a system command.
However the 'move' routine fails, while the 'backup' routine succeeds.  I've
worked with our LAN people, and have eliminated Permissions as a cause.

Here are the particulars:

OS: Windows 2000 Server

Backup command:
C:\WINNT\system32\cmd.exe /c xcopy /y
"\\kcmfp1\FDEV\operations\USA\Step2_Out\SPECIAL\*.*"
"\\kcmfp1\FDEV\operations\USA\Step2_Out\SPECIAL\20030625_976690\"


Move command:
C:\WINNT\system32\cmd.exe /c move /y
"\\kcmfp1\FDEV\operations\USA\Step2_Out\SPECIAL\*.*"
"\\kcmfp1\FDEV\operations\USA\Step2_Out\SPECIAL\Completed"

These commands are both called in the same way:
CALL SYSTEM USING $kc_cmd #ReturnValue WAIT

Where $kc_cmd is the command line(s) above.  The #ReturnValue = 1, which
Win2K says is: "Incorrect function."

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated,

Thanks,
