Re: Calling PASE command in batch

I just read a little closer. Not sure if this works:

echo {$PASSPHRASE} | gpg (Assume the passphrase can come from stdin)

You might also need to use an expect script to get the password into gpg. Not
sure as I have not used that command. Try the simple echo first. If that
doesn't work, what string does gpg display when it requests the pass phrase?

Thanks John. Your post was very informative.

I do have one question. After i set an environment variable with the
passphrase, how do i use it with the gpg command?

my batch
functions working.

You could possibly run everything from inside QSH.

For example: QSH CMD('somescript')

You would either have to provide an absolute path to somescript, such as
.home/programmer/somescript, or put the script in a directory that is on
QSH
search path.

Before you invoke QSH, set an environment variable with the passphrase
you need
for encryption.

The script would then contain all the PASE commands.

You will also need to add an environment variable to change QSH error
messages
from completion to escape messages.

ADDENVVAR ENVVAR(QIBM_QSH_CMD_ESCAPE_MSG) VALUE(Y) +
REPLACE(*YES)

After the QSH command, MONMSG for QSH0005 QSH0006 QSH0007. This is an
example,
in the proper sequence:


ADDENVVAR ENVVAR(QIBM_QSH_CMD_ESCAPE_MSG) VALUE(Y) +
REPLACE(*YES)
TOMSGQ(*SYSOPR)
CHGVAR VAR(&FTPFAIL) VALUE('N')
QSH CMD('/QOpenSys/usr/bin/sftp -b +
/usr/local/bin/xxx.scr +
user@xxxxxxxxxxx ')
MONMSG MSGID(QSH0005 QSH0006 QSH0007) EXEC(DO)
CHGVAR VAR(&FTPFAIL) VALUE('Y')
CHGVAR VAR(&MSGTXT) VALUE('SPBAHCCL - Data could +
not be sent to AHC')
SNDPGMMSG MSGID(CPF9898) MSGF(QCPFMSG) +
MSGDTA(&MSGTXT) TOMSGQ(*SYSOPR)
ENDDO

In the above example, I only run sftp. In your case, you would run a
script
that contained the sftp command. You would still need the -b option to
run the
sftp in a batch.

Notice that I set FTPFAIL to 'N' prior to QSH? This way, if I do not
receive
one of the messages, I know it was successful.. QSH0005 is sent as a
completion
message except when there was a failure.
