Re: Quoted text when invoking program call via QSYS2.QCMDEXC?

QCMDEXC needS a second 'length' parameter...

CALL QSYS2/QCMDEXC('CALL PGM(XYZ) PARM(''ABCDEF'')' 28)

I think you'd only need double-quotes around the PARM if you wanted to include upper and lower case, or if your parm has 6 characters, and you only wanted to pass 4+2 blanks.

OK, I think I'm missing something obvious ... but this is driving me crazy.

I'm trying to invoke a program call through the QCMDEXC SQL procedure.

Since the parm is in quoted text, I assume I have to double quote/escape the quotes in the parms.

I am getting an error saying the String ') )' is invalid.

I'm running something like this:

CALL QSYS2/QCMDEXC('CALL PGM(XYZ) PARM(''ABCDEF'')')

I've tried triple quoting the parm with a different error.

What am I missing?

Thanks!
