Re: CL type conversion error

My experience is the opposite of yours.  I've found QzshSystem() to only 
work well if used from a program that's already in the QShell 
environment. In my experience, QzshSystem() doesn't set up the QShell 
environment with all of it's descriptors, etc, causing a lot of things 
to fail.  So you can run it without problems when you're already in 
QShell, but from a CL program, it doesn't work so well.

By contrast, I've found STRQSH CMD('xxx') to work flawlessly from CL 
programs.

So, I'm really surprised by your suggestion.
