Re: Passing variable with white space to Qshell

My script looks like this:
find ${1} -mtime +${2} -exec rm -d {} \;

My CL looks like this:
chgVar &cmd +
('/home/myDir/myScript.qsh' |> &path |> &days)
strQsh cmd(&cmd)

The variables &path and &days come from a database file. &PATH is *CHAR
200. &DAYS is *CHAR 5.

thanks,
Lorne.

Hi Lorne,

My suggeston is to use quotes to preserve the whitespace... but, it
looks like you've done that in your e-mail message (you have " before
and after your string.) But, then, your call to STRQSH is also

invalid

CL syntax. So I'm thinking your e-mail may not accurately reflect

your

program code.

So... put double quotes around the variable contents. If you're

already

doing that, then post some actual code so we can examine what you

might

be doing wrong.

Good luck

Do anybody know how to specify a CL variable which contains white

invoking a Qshell script from a CL program?

For example, &PATH contains the following, "/My directory/My file".

I want to do something like STRQSH CMD('/home/mydir/myscript.qsh'

&PATH).

Thanks.
