RE: Submitting jobs in RPG.

Jason,

I've done this before without problems. Make sure that if your
parameters have apostrophes, that they are properly escaped. When I'm
troubleshooting these types of problems, it helps me to put the command
into a character field so I can get what it's trying to submit and
trying it from a command line to get better error messages.

Hello all!

I hate using QCMDEXC but sometimes when the right API is not there that
is
what I land up doing. Now normally here we try to stay away from as many
CL
programs as we can and use APIs or QCMDEXC, but I have hit a problem
which
has prompted me to post here.

When we use QCMDEXC normally it is done like this.

BldTmpFilesCMD = 'CRTDUPOBJ '+
                 'OBJ(OPS005LF2) '+
                 'FROMLIB(*LIBL) '+
                 'OBJTYPE(*FILE) '+
                 'TOLIB(QTEMP) '+
                 'NEWOBJ(*OBJ) '+
                 'ASPDEV(*) ' +
                 'TOASPDEV(*ASPDEV) '+
                 'DATA(*NO)';
BldTmpFiles(BldTmpFilesCMD:%len(BldTmpFilesCMD));

Where we have a prototype to QCMDEXC named BldTmpFiles.

This works great until we try to use this using SBMJOB. Has anyone out
there had good success using QCMDEXC to do SBMJOB that has a program
with
Parms?

Thanks!
