Re: Qshell CL Prompting Locks iSeries Access

Thank you, Michael! I am going to post your process snippet for the PGP
encryption as it helped solve my issues. I tried another way of using the
|| with echo "..."... > to file and 2> /dev/null to pipe errors and output
from the terminal to a file and nothing to no avail. Well, it did what it
was supposed to but I still kept getting that annoying terminal session
with the prompt for pressing enter to end the terminal session. I thought
it was supposed to replace the ADDENVVAR's. The only way to keep that
terminal screen from popping up was to do those ADDENVVAR's. I think I
have to make sure I adopt some authority in case the user doesn't have
*JOBCTL but it works and should be okay in batch.

Here's what I do...

CHGVAR VAR(&OUTTXT) VALUE('/tmp/PGP' *CAT &WKJOBNUM +

I can run commands which prompt for input fine from QSH but trying

PCSCM.exe blows up then I have to end go to Task Manager and end

PCSWS.exe

(iSeries Access) as all sessions lock up. If I don't end the

PCSWS.exe's,

I can't get back into iSeries Access. I don't actually see the prompt

but

if I pipe the output to a file, I see the prompt it is trying to display.
I also get a terminal session every time I run this from a CL and I have

to

press enter which I don't really want.

In particular, I'm trying to run the PGP freeware executable for required
encryption of files for the FTP. The only trouble I am having is adding
this to a CL and it tries to prompt. I have been running this
interactively fine until it tries to prompt. The first prompt was about
wondering whether to trust the public key (y/n). I got around this by
creating my own signature and signing their key. The next prompt was

about

the ciphertext file already existing and wondering whether to replace. I
think I can get around this by always trying to delete before running. I
don't want to try my luck and get to a point where there is some other
prompt and it blows the user entirely out of the water. I know I have

done

this before using a different command fine but maybe it didn't have any
prompting. I can't recall if that terminal window kept popping up when I
did it before. I know my previous implementation of QSH did something

like

QSH CMD('/QOpenSys/bin/scp...<file>.csv&& echo "<file>.csv successfully
sent."

Any ideas? Thanks!
