Re: Using STRPCCMD with & in file name

Won't that exhibit the same problem that John was trying to solve?! It seems to do the exact same thing.

I created a general purpose document handler program that looks like this:

PGM PARM(&DOC) DCL VAR(&DOC) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(100) MONMSG MSGID(IWS4032) EXEC(GOTO CMDLBL(END))
STRPCO MONMSG MSGID(IWS4010) STRPCCMD PCCMD(&DOC) PAUSE(*NO) END: ENDPGM
An example of a program that uses the handler is:

PGM DCL VAR(&DOC) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(100) CHGVAR VAR(&DOC) + VALUE('S:\IT_AS400\Documentation\Procedures\EOD_Printer.doc') CALL PGM(DOCHANDLER) PARM(&DOC) ENDPGM
