Re: Calling variable commands from CL

A little API called QCMDEXC should work nicely...

dcl &cmd *char 250
chgvar &cmd ( &library *tcat '/' *cat &command )
call qcmdexc ( &cmd 250 )

I have taken the boilerplate UPS monitor program offered by IBM,

TAA has 4 exit programs, and I have modified the idea for my own

One problem I have run into is passing parameters. I don't want to have

to

have parameters in the controlling data area. There is a program that I

call

that has a parameter that will contain "BEFORE" and "AFTER".

I came up with the bright idea that I would change from "programs" to
"commands". So I modified the line, and immediately ran into the problem
that it couldn't find library &LIBRARY, and by extension, couldn't find

the

&COMMAND.

Is there a way to call a command using a variable?

If not, I spoz I'll have to split the program up and have one for before

and

another for after...

TIA,
