In article <1k9u0aINNjk4@emory.mathcs.emory.edu> jparker@hpbs2561.boi.hp.com (Jack Parker) supplies some C code to run a Unix command from 4GL: >/* >run_cmn - run an OS command. To replace the 4GL RUN command which clears >the screen. syntax is CALL run_cmn(command, length(command)+1) returning int >*/ > [...] There is a C routine in the ftp archive on mathcs.emory.edu that takes a slightly different approach to the same task. It was supplied by Harry Bochner <bochner@das.harvard.edu> in response to the original discussion on the subject. It's in /pub/informix/pub/fgl_run.shar.
