RE: Does Qcmdexc return an error ??

Well in the instance of NOT having the necessary authority, the situation
in this instance is STILL the same. The file CANNOT be accessed, therefore
an error. However, with the system() api, you can check the field ErrorCPF
to see what the CPF message was.

And what if the error is that the file exists but you don't have

authority

to it? You must be like me, and have *ALLOBJ. The other developers here

probably have me labeled as Dilbert's "Mordac - Preventer of Information
Services" because I make them test stuff as the users would see it. That

is when you use ErrorCPF.

Then again, as the other person suggested, you could just as easily use
USROPN and check the status from that. Instead of all the rubbish from
CHKOBJ. I guess it all comes down to choices, and yours is a valid
choice.

Another way is by using the system() API
Use the following code

// Execute Command (system) Subprocedure Variables
D As400cmd PR 10I 0 ExtProc('system')
D CmdText * Value Options(*String)
D
D ErrorCPF S 7A Import('_EXCP_MSGID')
D ErrorFlag S 10I 0 Inz(0)

C eval Errorflag = As400cmd('CHKOBJ -
C QTEMP/UPSELLWRK *FILE')
C if ErrorFlag = 0
C eval Errorflag = As400cmd('OVRDBF -
C etc....')
C endif

Where Errorflag of 0 means that the system() command was successful

Hi,

I have a Qcmdexc statement in a program.
OVRDBF FILE(ABC) TOFILE( )
Now for eg.
the TOFILE is DXGO/ABC. If MPPMP100 does not exist in DXGO, can i

capture

this error?(Or is there any other way of doing it)

Derek, the override command (OVRDBF) doesn't actually check for the

file.

It simply tells the operating system that any programs trying to open

file

ABC should instead open MPPMP100 in DXGO. (I assume you meant that

your

TOFILE is DXGO/MPPMP100.)

An error doesn't actually occur until a program tries to open file ABC.

At

that point, the operating system sees the override and attempts to open

the

TOFILE. Typically, this is when your RPG program first loads (or if

you

have defined the USROPN keyword for the file, it happens when you issue

the

OPEN opcode to the file).

The easiest way to handle this is probably with a USROPN file. You

could

put an error indicator on your OPEN statement, or put a MONITOR block

around

it.
