Another reason not to call the QShell programs directly (I've made that mistake before, fortunately with no ill results) - is that the status is not returned when you do that. Only the STRQSH/QSH command does that.

Scott has mentioned this before, and I don't remember - I think we CAN write our own utilities for QShell - they just have to use the C/C++ interface, where what comes in is an array of char* following the number of items in that array. Not that I've tried this yet - oh yeah, you'd have to add a symbolic link into the same place where QShell puts them in the IFS.

I think!!

Please don't encourage people to put together a kludge like this. You
shouldn't call the programs in the QSHELL library directly. If you want
to run QShell's CHMOD program, please do this:

QSH CMD('chmod 644 /your/file/name')

Do not call the CHMOD program in QShell directly. It may work now, but
break with a PTF or future release. The programs in the QSHELL library
are designed to be used within the QShell environment and pay expect
that environment to be active. Since IBM does not offer them as APIs,
that behavior can change without notice.
