SQL Ace Report Writer.

Good Morning! I have discovered a problem with Informix SQL v 2.10 Ace Report Writer. I have SQL installed in a stand alone PC, and also on an Intel-310 multi-user box. The problem is with Ace on the PC, in the OUTPUT block of the source code the REPORT TO instruction works well in sending the formated text/data to a "file" or to the PRINTER. However, the reference manual states that a key word "PROGRAM" will send the output to a SYSTEM COMMAND. This should work like the Unix " REPORT TO PIPE 'cat > /usr2/login/subdirectory/filename". THE PROGRAM KEY WORD DOSE NOT WORK AT ALL, NOT IN ANY CONFIGURATION I CAN COME UP WITH. Has anyone on the Net tried to use this PROGRAM keyword to successfully sen the output of a report to a MS-DOS system command, .exe, .com, .bat? I would appreciate any valuable suggestions along these lines. Thanks for even reading this. Michael S.
