Re: File Attachment Utility

["Peter Connell" <Peter.Connell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Nathan,
This is not an uncommon setup error.
You get this because Net.Data uses the list of paths specified by the
EXEC_PATH directive of the associated INI file when attempting to
resolve the object being executed, in this case the CHGAUT command. 
Net.data was designed for multi-platforms and so does not assume the
library list mechanism so familiar on OS/400.

I always start my EXEC_PATH INI directive with /QSYS.LIB; otherwise it
is necessary to qualify the object reference in the %exec statement e.g.
%EXEC { /QSYS.LIB/CHGAUT.CMD %}

Cheers, Peter

Peter,

Thanks for the macro.  The file upload works great, and the %html() 
blocks do too, but I get errors when running system commands.  For 
example the CHGAUT command results in the error:

NET.DATA Error: Object specified in CHGAUT.CMD not found.

I can go to a 5250 command line and execute the command with the same 
parameters specified in the macro, and it runs fine, but not within 
Net.Data.  It's as if command parameters are not passed.  Is there 
something that I need to do to use the DTW_SYSTEM language environment?

Nathan.
