Is there a way to force the RUN command to use sh? } An informix specific env setting perhaps? } } If not then I guess I'm stuck with setting SHELL prior to fglgo'ing } and restting it afterwards. } } Cheers, Ian. } Hoping for a cleaner solution, How about having your RUN command run a script, and having the script run the program you want? However, the first line of the script should be: #! /bin/sh which will cause it to use sh instead of csh.
