Multiple lines on system call from SQR

["Terry Cheung." <Terry.Cheung@BMG.CO.UK>]

Hi,

I am developing in SQR v4 on UNIX

I want to run some UNIX commands from SQR by using system call.
Two questions I hope you can assist:
1)      How can I run multiple line unix commands from SQR? I know we can
run single line commands like e.g.   let $cmd =  'mkdir newdirectory'
               call system $cmd #rc
        but when using 'for loop' or 'if then' how is this done?

2)      Alternatively I could write an external shell script and then using
call system to execute it, but how do I ensure that the SQR during runtime
can find the shell script(without me hardcoding the path)?

Thanks in advance
