Re: QSH Command Format

Vernon, she was missing the final quote but also I think it was barfing on
the $( ... ) syntax (parentheses).

Me not knowing the full and appalling range of CL escape quote mechanisms
:), it looks simpler to use back-tick `command ...` syntax.

Hi

I don't think you need the full quotes. You didn't need them in the
interactive sessions.

And you are missing a final apostrophe.

Hope this helps

Hello List,

Can anyone tell me the format needed to put the following command in a

CLP?

It works fine in an interactive session. (It copies the existing file

and inserts the current date in the file name.)

This works in an interactive session:
cp /GSAcct/CHKSALAP.PDF chksalap_$(date '+%Y-%m-%d').pdf


This is NOT working in my CLP:
ADDENVVAR ENVVAR(QIBM_QSH_CMD_OUTPUT) VALUE(NONE) +
LEVEL(*JOB) REPLACE(*YES)

QSH CMD('cp /GSAcct/CHKSALAP.PDF "chksala_$(date ''+%Y-%m-%d'').pdf")


Thank you,
