Think of it this way: Program QCMDEXEC executes a command string. In order to execute, you need to give it a formatted command. Because command strings can be of varying length, you also need to tell QCMDEXEC the size of the variable that holds the formatted command string. Thus, the two parms. Per your example (below), CMD is defined as 80 bytes. The LENGTH parm is supplied a default value of 80 on the PARM opcode to match the length of the variable CMD. To use this, you just need to load your command to be executed into CMD and issue the CALL/PARM code. eric.delong@pmsi-services.com ______________________________ Reply Separator _________________________________ Subject: RE: 2 errs Author: <MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com > at INET_WACO Date: 10/16/98 4:02 AM ---eric <eric@norcov.com> wrote: > > The purpose of QCMDEXC is to execute a command from within an RPG program.
