RE: Problem with QSH command that is sending me UP the wall

Hi Rob
At the moment if I said that 2 + 2 =4 and you replied that it wasn't, I'm pretty sure that I would doubt my original answer.
In other words, I'm not too sure.
The best way that I think I can answer that, is by repeating what I had originally written.

Using STRDBG on the CL program I have determined the &LSCOMMAND contains the following value

ls /weborders/HB*.txt >/qsys.lib/hbmofa.lib/webordifs.file/webordifs.mbr

Copying and pasting this text into the QSH command and pressing Enter results in the file HBMOFA/WEBORDIFS being populated with the following records (***NOTE*** I made sure that the file was empty BEFORE the QSH command was given:-

Record# ....5...10...15...20...25...30.
1 /weborders/HB1000001860.txt
2 /weborders/HB1000001870.txt
3 /weborders/HB1000001880.txt
4 /weborders/HB1000001890.txt
5 /weborders/HB1000001930.txt
6 /weborders/HB1000001940.txt
7 /weborders/HB1000001950.txt
8 /weborders/HB1000002030.txt
9 /weborders/HB1000002040.txt
10 /weborders/HB1000002050.txt
11 /weborders/HB1000002060.txt
12 /weborders/HB1000003210.txt

Are you sure that it IS pointing to the directory that you are trying to interrogate, and not the qsys.lib directory you are writing to?
