Re: Passing arguments with Q2PSHELL

What I do is create a variable and pass the invidual variables to that, then
send the main variable to the command. This is test code so its messy, don't
judge! :)


DCL        VAR(&CMD) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(200) VALUE(' ')

CHGVAR     VAR(&CMD) VALUE('test' *CAT &SNGQTE *CAT +
            '/TEST/IMAGES/' *TCAT &$INPUT *TCAT +
            &SNGQTE *CAT ' ' *CAT &SNGQTE *CAT +
            '/TEST/IMAGES/' *TCAT &$OUTPUT *TCAT &SNGQTE)

CALL       PGM(QP2SHELL) PARM('/QOpenSys/usr/bin/sh' +
            '-c' &CMD)

Subject: Passing arguments with Q2PSHELL

I am trying to figure out how to pass arguments to the command that I
am also passing to Q2PSHELL.  I've been googling but so far haven't
found the answer I'm looking for.

This is the command in my CL pgm:
 CALL       PGM(QP2SHELL) PARM('/QOpenSys/bin/sh' '-c' +
                         &SCRIPTFQ &SRCFILE &TGTFILE
                         &CURUSER &TGTHOST)

&SCRIPTFQ is the name of the script that I want to be executed.  This
works - it is being executed.
The remaining 4 variables I want passed to the script in &SCRIPTFQ.

I've tried a few different things but none so far have worked.

Each variable is null terminated.  The OS version is 6.1.

If I call Q2PTERM at the command line and then execute the script with
the arguments, it works.  So I'm confident that my problem is with my
not understanding how to pass the arguments.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Phil
