RE: system()

Barb,

I started this thread.  Now that I have seen all these great replies, can
you tell me how it is that we can monitor for a message using QCMDEXEC.
That was really where I was trying to go with using some other way of
executing a command.

TIA

Ron

        No, it starts out blank, but then it's only updated when an error
occurs,
        so it should only be checked after you determine that an error
occurred
        (%error?).  The PSDS also contains the first 80 bytes of the message
        causing the error in positions 91 - 170.
