[sqr-users] call system not executing dos commands

[Scotty Barnes <sbarnes@wesleyan.edu>]

Hello,

If I copy this into START - RUN and execute it I get the desired results.
(Windows 2000, SQR 6.2)

C:\WINNT\system32\cmd.exe /c copy 
"e:\psoft\temp\atticus\From_follett\8100084.*" 
"e:\psoft\temp\atticus\From_follett\Inputfiles.20030825010841

But if I execute this procedure I made


!**************************************************
!                copy($file1,$file2,:#status)
! $file1 must be fully qualified
! $file2 does not need to be
!**************************************************
Begin-Procedure wes_dos_command_copy($file1,$file2,:#status)
   LET $cmd = getenv('COMSPEC') || ' /c copy "' || $file1 || '" "' || 
$file2|| '"'
   CALL SYSTEM USING $cmd #status WAIT
   show 'Inside WES_DOS_COMMANDS.sqc -> Executed:'$cmd
End-Procedure copy($file1,$file2,:#status)

by using this code:
  do wes_dos_command_copy($temp,$combined_in,#status)
  show 'appended files :'#status

I get this in my log file.

Inside WES_DOS_COMMANDS.sqc -> Executed:C:\WINNT\system32\cmd.exe /c copy 
"e:\psoft\temp\atticus\From_follett\8100084.*" 
"e:\psoft\temp\atticus\From_follett\Inputfiles.20030825010802"
appended files :1.000000

If I copy this above line an paste it into the START RUN on Windows 2000 
server environment I get what I am expecting.  But it does not work when 
running in SQR.

What am I doing wrong?

Scotty
