RE: system()

[Klein Ron <ron.klein@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry Barbara,
I come from a part of Minnesota where everyone has a nickname, even the old
men have names like Billy Early, Lloydy.  I meant no offense.  Thank you for
the clarification on the (e) extender.  I guess it just went right over my
head when I read your response.
Ron

        Ron, I don't understand your question.  The (e) or error indicator
        IS the monitor.  Because of the (e) or error indicator, your program
        continues after the call to QCMDEXC.  If you leave out the (e) or
        error indicator, your program will crash (or go to the *PSSR).

        These are basically the same:

          CL:  CRTLIB XXX
               MONMSG EXEC(DO)
                     ... do something to handle the error ...
               ENDDO

          RPG: C        callp(e)     qcmdexc ('CRTLIB XXX' : 10)
               C        if           %error
               C          ... do something to handle the error ...
               C        endif


        Barbara Morris

        By the way, it's "Barbara", not "Barb".  "Barb": ewwwww.  (For
        me that is - for someone else, I'm sure "Barb" is a fine name.)

        "Surely you jest."
        "Please don't call me Shirley."
