Re: Calling SQR from SQR

When I call another SQR report from within an SQR report using:

LET $command = 'SQRWT PROG2.SQT user/pword -FC:\SPOOL\ -KEEP'
CALL SYSTEM USING $command #status

I get back a status of 16.

I am unclear how you are able to run more than one SQR session under W95
unless your version (3.0.13.2) is different in this respect to
mine(3.0.12.1)

Cheers

Harry

What sort of problems are you having running multiple copies?  I think the
only problem you will encounter is the fact that the .log & ..spf/.lis
files cannot be of the same name.  For example:  you cannot have 2 .SQT's
generating an output.lis or sqr.log at the same time.  If you use the -O
parameter to give the log files unique names and the -F parameter to give
the .lis/.spf files unique names, you should be able to run them
simultaneously.  I just got done conducting a test on win95 version
3.0.13.2, I was able to get through it successfully.  For example, this is
the error I got when I did not use the -F parameter.  Please let me know if
this is not the issue you are having.

Hello

Platform : W95
Sqr Version : 3.0.12.1

I am constructing a number of reports that must be available to run
individually or as part of a suite. To run the suite I am planning to have
a single report that simply calls each individual report in turn returning
a status. From reading previous comments in this user group it seems that I
must use the CALL SYSTEM command, but the (16 bit) version of SQR I am
using will not allow SQR to be executed more than once simultaneously.

Can anybody suggest a solution to this ?

Thanks in advance

Harry
