Re: PASE Redirection

Hmmm...  First of all, you're using QP2SHELL to invoke a shell script, 
but, as far as I can tell, you haven't invoked the shell at all.  Your 
call should look more like this:

CALL QP2SHELL PARM('/QOpenSys/usr/bin/sh' +
                   '-c' +
                   '/home/user1/blah.sh')

The first parameter is the shell (in this case, 'sh', which is the 
Bourne shell).  The second parameter, -c, tells it to run a command. 
The third parameter, is the command to run -- in this case, your shell 
script.

The OVRDBF might be failing due to an activation group issue.  If you're 
issuing OVRDBF from the default activation group, it should work just 
fine because it'll use OVRSCOPE(*CALLLVL) by default.  If you're running 
an ILE CL program from a different activation group, however, your 
OVRDBF won't work because QP2SHELL runs in ACTGRP(*NEW) and therefore 
will be in a different activation group than your override.  (Unless you 
explicitly code the OVRSCOPE)

There's another API called QP2SHELL2 which is identical to QP2SHELL, 
except that QP2SHELL2 runs in ACTGRP(*CALLER).

Having said all of that... I don't understand why your STDOUT would go 
to QPRINT?!  The default (if you don't do an override) is to display it 
on the screen... so it's weird to me that it'd go to QPRINT unless 
you've told it to.  What is QIBM_USE_DESCRIPTOR_STDIO set to?
