That's certainly true, however, the uses I needed it for I have had the
need to look at the information.  All I cared about is if the command
executed or not.  Like you, I was unaware of the psds.  Is that something
that needs to be defined? or is available to use similar to a BIF?

Michael,

I used to really like system also.  I do have it buried in a lot of
programs.  However, Barb talked me back to using QCMDEXC.  When you use
QCMDEXC you can look at the psds and get more feedback if the command
fails.  Like "Why did it fail"?  Granted, if you really want unlimited
information, you'd use QCAPCMD.  But for most applications, QCMDEXC
suffices.

RE: Clearing a physical file






I have an easier one.  It requires binding a directory.  Here's the code.

H Bnddir('QC2LE')

 * Allows you to execute a CL command from RPG.
D DoCmd           PR            10i 0 ExtProc('system')
D  CmdString                      *   Value
D                                     Options(*String)

D NullString      C                   -1
D Success         C                   0

 /Free
      If DoCmd('CLRPFM MYFILE') <> SUCCESS;
         ... DO SOMETHING
      EndIf;
      ... Do Something
      *InLR = *On;
      Return;
 /End-Free

Just call QCMDEXC with the command as a parameter, something like:

D Cmd            PR                  ExtPgm('QCMDEXC')
D  Command                200A    const
D  Length                      15P 5 const

C                  callp    Cmd('CLRPFM FILE(' %trim(filename) + ')':
200)

Is there coding to clear a physical file within a RPGLE program without
calling a CL program to clear it?
