Re: QSH scripting

Do you have PASE installed (extra cost and ordering for V5R1 and below)? This is even more like a traditional Unix environment - it emulates AIX - and you can run anything in it that has the execute-flag turned on, with a call to a 400 program. CALL QP2SHELL, I think. It has a number of the traditional shells in it - csh, ksh, bash - IIRC.

Otherwise, you can run things in QShell by putting the command into the QSH command

QSH CMD('some QShell function; another one')

and there you go - automatable.

Just give your Unix person the docs on the QShell utilities, or let him/her go to it in normal Unix fashion in PASE.

They've already got some stuff automated for payroll, in that they can
push timecards to the Oracle box for processing and check writing. The A/P
department has been buying custom forms for their checks for many years.

What they want to do now is this:
Since the Oracle package does not yet have a good payables module, they
want to process A/P all the way through, with the exception of printing
checks. The spool file is to be sent to the Oracle box, where it will be
fed through a product called OptioPrint. This is essentially a forms
management package for a Unix environment.

Everything is set to go on the Oracle box side, and commands entered thru
QSH actually worked as expected. The Unix programmer wants to build a
script to be able to automate the process.
