Hello, what's your OS? If it's Linux or any Unix, Chris should be right. If it's WinNT 4.0 or Win2K, you may use any Keystuff Command for DOS in order to stuff a Newline into the Command Buffer. You may Download that from Jumbo. The Cenvi Program Packes provides also a keystuff example. tfhkcyt2000@taifuji.com wrote: > Hello, > > I use ontape to backup the database , > the statement I use is > > ontape -a -s -L 0> > but ontape will ask me to press return key for > comfirmation of tape ready, because I use > autochager , and I want to use unattend backup, > please help me how to use it. > > Thanks. -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen / with best regards :-) +===================================Mail-Client: Netscape V4.75=+ | Ernst Sauerwein Siemens Busines Services | | =============== IT Services ISC-D 144 | | Microsoft Certified OLTP-Systems | | Professional INFORMIX® Database Support | | Tel: +49 89 3601 2699 Area South Europe | | Berliner Str.95,III/D046 | | FTP: ftp://ftp.siemens.de/ (external) | | ftp://MB184060.mch.sni.de/ (internal) | +===============================================================+
