Hi Mark

Todays a good day - I believe that I learnt something new

Are you saying that information can be written to the job log, by using this command
/* send information to job log */
SNDPGMMSG MSGID(CPF9898) MSGF(QSYS/QCPFMSG) +
MSGDTA(&VARIABLE) TOPGMQ(*PRV (*)) +
MSGTYPE(*DIAG)

Where &VARIABLE contains the text that you would like to be inserted into the job log

Andrew,
Do not attempt to mix single-quotes and double-quotes. And, never use "back-quotes."

Use only single quotes. (Single-quote is usually under the double-quote on many keyboards, unshifted).

Inside a quoted string, two single-quotes in a row means "one single-quote" inside the quoted string, vis:
'Mark''s name.'
Also, you can create a variable, e.g.:

DCL VAR(&CMD) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(512) DCL VAR(&CMDLEN) TYPE(*DEC) LEN(15 5) VALUE(512)


Then, use CHGVAR to concatenate all the parts of your command, as follows:

CHGVAR VAR(&CMD) VALUE('ssh -Tvvv -n USERID@MACHINE +
''system ''''SBMJOB CMD(CALL PGM (MSBTRWRST/WASSTR) +
PARM(''''9.0.0'''' ''''S'''' '''' '''')) +
JOB(WASSTR_TST) HOLD(*YES) JOBQ(QUSRNOMAX)''')


Then, before running it, echo it to the job log and interactive session as follows:

/* send command to job log */
SNDPGMMSG MSGID(CPF9898) MSGF(QSYS/QCPFMSG) +
MSGDTA(&CMD) TOPGMQ(*PRV (*)) +
MSGTYPE(*DIAG)
/* send command to screen ... */
SNDPGMMSG MSGID(CPF9898) MSGF(QSYS/QCPFMSG) +
MSGDTA(&CMD) TOPGMQ(*EXT) +
MSGTYPE(*STATUS)


Then, use QCMDEXC to run the command:
CALL PGM(QSYS/QCMDEXC) PARM(&CMD &CMDLEN)
MONMSG CPF0000 ...


Hope that helps,

Mark S. Waterbury

Hello,

I’ve tried combinations of single quotes, double quotes etc but no avail.
The output sent to the log file says there is some about the . in 9.0.0 that it does like, but I am a loss
on how to fix it.

Thankyou

Regards
Andy
