executing opearating system commands from a 4gl program
Juan Ignacio Carbajal Rivera asked for a 4GL equivalent of the SPL SYSTEM command for running OS commands. Paul Watson asked whether to run without waiting. Michael Krzepkowski said any OS command or 4GL program can be run. Paul said he knew of no non-waiting option and suggested C. Stefan Weideneder noted a 'without waiting' option exists and asked about a wait(pid) command; unanswered.

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 ?
