Spawn API and tr command.

This may be a question that only Scott can answer.

Given the following string

/bin/tr '|' \n < /home/alanc/test.txt > /home/alanc/test2.txt

which works from the command line in qsh I want to call the spawn api in
an RPG/ILE program.

The spawn API expects that the 5th parameters be an array of null
terminated strings with the parameters.

My question is given the above string, how many null terminated strings
would I send?

Three?

'''|'' \n'
'< /home/alanc/test.txt'
'> /home/alanc/test2.txt'

Four?

'''|'''
'\n'
'< /home/alanc/test.txt'
'> /home/alanc/test2.txt'

Six?

'''|'''
'\n'
'<'
'/home/alanc/test.txt'
'>'
'/home/alanc/test2.txt'

I keep getting the following errors:

QP2SHELL Error Log

Run Date: 5/08/07 Time: 19:59:57 User:


tr: 0653-712 The combination of options and String parameters is not
legal.

Usage: tr [ -c | -cds | -cs | -ds | -s ] [-A] String1 String2

tr { -cd | -cs | -d | -s } [-A] String1

I know there is trick. I just cannot figure out what it is.

The code can execute other commands without a problem but it just
doesn't like this one.

Thanks for the help.
