Error -668 on running system calls on NT

Hi, we're running IDS 7.20 on NT 4.0 SP3. Out of a stored procedure I try to run a system call. I.e. create procedure test ()SYSTEM 'C:\\WINNT\\notepad.exe'; end procedure; executing the procedures gives me the error message -668 System command cannot be executed In %INFORMIXDIR%\\online.log I see the error System() command in stored procedure failed.User:informix,Command:C:\\WINNT\\notepad.exe. Win32 Error :The client doesn't have a needed privileg. I granted any rights with "grant execute on test to public;" I'm logged in as informix.

Hi We've had the same problem on 9.14 and it turned out to be the advanced user rights that the user Informix had on the NT machine. Try to give Informix rights to work as part of the operating system and to act as a system.level token These things most often is in the releasenotes regards Peter Christensen In article <8hqt0t$tq9$1@nnrp1.deja.com>, Oliver Thinnes <oliver_thinnes7845@my-deja.com> wrote: > Hi, > > we're running IDS 7.20 on NT 4.0 SP3. > > Out of a stored procedure I try to run a system call. > I.e. > create procedure test ()> SYSTEM 'C:\\WINNT\\notepad.exe'; > end procedure; > > executing the procedures gives me the error message > -668 System command cannot be executed > > In %INFORMIXDIR%\\online.log I see the error > System() command in stored procedure > failed.User:informix,Command:C:\\WINNT\\notepad.exe.
