Re: How to Find what module a procedure is located in

FWIW, I agree with Barbara on this... with pretty much every command I execute, I want to get full error details, and system() discards them.

QCAPCMD is almost always overkill for me. I find QCMDEXC to be the best mix of simple and powerful.

Better way to do executing a system command. Only need one parameter, the

Me, I don't like the system() API. If the command fails, it removes the
message from the joblog, and then you can only get the message ID, from
a field defined with import('_EXCP_MSGID'). The message ID isn't as
useful as the real message with its replacement values, especially if it
was an unexpected error.

With your wrapper, you could call QCMDEXC or QCAPCMD instead.
