The other option may be to only have the command executed from within a 
HLL program (like RPGLE) that calls the QCAPCMD api.  QCAPCMD is like 
QCMDCHK, QCMDEXC, system() and a host of others - all on steroids.  Check 
it out.  We use it for a program that verifies a command to be stored in a 
file for use by a menu system, and, also a file of commands to execute at 
strategic points in our backup like:
- What commands would you like to execute after we quiesced all 
applications, performed the backups and prior to opening up the 
applications again?
- What commands would you like to execute after we quiesced all 
applications, performed the backups and after opening up the applications 
again?
