Re: Passing variable with white space to Qshell

[Scott Klement <midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Lorne,

My suggeston is to use quotes to preserve the whitespace...  but, it 
looks like you've done that in your e-mail message (you have " before 
and after your string.)  But, then, your call to STRQSH is also invalid 
CL syntax.  So I'm thinking your e-mail may not accurately reflect your 
program code.

So... put double quotes around the variable contents.  If you're already 
doing that, then post some actual code so we can examine what you might 
be doing wrong.

Good luck
