Re: [IBMiOSS] Scripting cURL to execute in CL Programs

I agree with Bryan's suggestion. At least it's easier for me that way.

QSH CMD('/QOpenSys/usr/bin/sh -c "/QOpenSys/bin/script.sh"') where
/QOpenSys/bin/script.sh is any PASE shell command or script.

See IBM's article on calling shell scripts from CL.

It might help to put the curl steps in a shell script file and run that from
the command line program

? Has anyone had success scripting cURL to execute in an IBM i CL

Program?

I have a project to access a Vendor Web Site using cURL to upload a

file,

wait till the file is processed and download a resulting file.

I have been provided the cURL Commands for the process.

I've enetered cURL command through a QP2TERM Terminal Session and had
success uploading the data file.

Now I need to script the cURL Command to run from an IBM i CL Program.

The upload command is as follows:

curl -v https://vendorurl.net/import -u'Noreply@xxxxxxxxxxx:Password' -F
data=@/temp/uploaddata_20210226.csv >
/response/response_20210226.json

I believe the problem is caused by the User Id & Password being enclosed
in single quotes.
I've written many dynamic SQL Statements in RPGLE and substituted
parameters in CL Program,
but none of my methods for quoting a string have worked.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,
