Re: [sqr-users] call system not executing dos commands

[Charly Lebrun <calebrun@yahoo.com>]

Hello Scotty,


Try in SQR using this (transformed from your code) under NT/2000/XP :

Your version was :

   LET $cmd = getenv('COMSPEC') || ' /c copy "' || $file1 || '" "' || $file2|| 
'"'

New version can be :

   LET $cmd = 'CMD /C @START /WAIT /MIN copy "' || $file1 || '" "' || $file2|| 
'"'

You can also call a .BAT file that actually does the COPY job, etc...

Please refer to the Windows help to get information about the START command. 
This is not available
on 9x/Me, but it did help me running programs from SQR.

Hope this helps...

Charly
