Re: Qshell question

Keep in mind that there is no error checking using the semi-colon separator.

example: STRQSH CMD('cd /home/Mark;ls')

The 'ls' command is going to run regardless of whether or not the 'cd' worked.

Use && as a separator and the preceding command has to have succeeded before the next will go.

Hi, James:
The STRQSH (QSH) command accepts a single parameter that contains one or more commands, separated by ";" ...

If it is not too many commands, you could do something like this:
   STRQSH CMD('cd /home/Mark;ls')

HTH,

I probably used to know this . . . .

Is there a way to run QSHELL in a batch job, and pass it more than one
command?

Case in point, I'd like to first change the current directory to a
specific IFS directory, and then use JAR to ZIP a bunch of files from
that directory (using a wildcard, which is why neither the ZIP in
UZAEMON's ZLIB port, nor the ZIP in MMAIL, is going to cut it).
