Re: Neater way of preparing call to system()

I normally use something like:

sprintf (cmd, "RMVM %s/%s %s ", Lib, Obj, Member);
if (system (cmd) != 0) {
// some error handling
}

In this case Lib, Obj and member are null terminated char arrays.
char Lib[11];
char Obj[11];
char Member[11];
char cmd[200];

Subject: [C400-L] Neater way of preparing call to system()

I need to issue a CPYF using system() that would look something like this
from RPG:

cmdstring = 'CPYF FROMFILE(MYLIB/MYFILE) TOFILE+
(FTPLIB/FILEX) FROMMBR(' + %trimr(pmbr) +') +
TOMBR(' + %trimr(pmbr) + ') MBROPT(*REPLACE) FMTOPT(*NOCHK)';

That is, the command is hard coded except for the member names, which can
be
anywhere between 2 and 10 bytes.
Does anyone have any good suggestions for a C/C++ equivalent? The best I
can
come up with at present includes a lot of inserts and appends and would
take
several lines.

Thanks,
Erik
