Hello: I've discovered a great utility which executes OS commands from a procedure(SYSTEM is the one). I wonder is there something similar but for a 4gl program instead?.

Since you can run any O/S command you can run any 4gl program too. If you are in a compiled 4GL just run myprogram.4ge (or whatever it is) or in RDS use "fglgo myprogram" HTH Michael Juan Ignacio Carbajal Rivera wrote: >Hello: >I've discovered a great utility which executes OS commands from a >procedure(SYSTEM is the one). >I wonder is there something similar but for a 4gl program instead?. >REGARDS > > >*********************************** >Juan I Carbajal R. >AUDITOR DE FRAUDE INTERNACIONAL >INTERNATIONAL FRAUD AUDITOR >RADIOMOVIL DIPSA SA de CV >AV Ej'rcito NAL #488 Col.

Hi Paul, "without waiting" is an option. Thank you for that new input. Without reading the manual: Is there a command which performs the "wait(pid)", too ?
