Re: #include files in SQR (Unix)

[Franck Masson <franck.masson@SQRIBE.COM>]

one posible solution for your migration

modify your sqr program
#include 'rp_header.sh'
#include 'rp_footer.sh'

then in your shell that run sqr

sqr -i$OMS_SQR  program.sqr

this is the documentation of the -i flag
Specifies the list of directories that SQR will search when processing
the #INCLUDE directive if the include file does not exist in the current
directory and no specified path was specified for the file.  The
directory names must be separated by either commas (,) or semicolons
(;).  Always append the directory character to the end of each directory
name. See the -F  flag for a list of directory characters by operating
system.  For example, under UNIX:

-Ic:\sqr\inc,d:\sqr\incl




if you do not want to type the line
create a sqr.sh file in /usr/bin
#!/bin/sh
$SQRDIR/sqr -i$OMS_SQR $*
