Hi,
I would like to know that how we can run a UNIX commands and capture
there return values in Informix 4GL.
Suppose I want File comparision command like cmp to check in 4GL &
capture a result which is 0 means both are equal in some variable , how
would i do this?
Else, the UNIX Command which returns last line of file & i would like
to capture/save this line in Informix Variable.
Please give me solution.
Thanks
Samruddhi

Hi,
Use the RETURNING of the RUN statement.
Bellow you have an example that works.
--------------------------
MAIN
DEFINE retVal INTEGER
DEFINE keyword CHAR(20)
DEFINE command CHAR(40)
LET keyword = arg_val(1)
LET command = "grep ", keyword clipped, " *"
RUN command RETURNING retVal
IF retVal = 0 THEN
DISPLAY "Keyowrd ", keyword clipped, " exist on some file "
ELSE
DISPLAY "Keyowrd ", keyword clipped, " does not exist on some file "
END IF
END MAIN
--------------------------

Try using the RUN statement, it's in the 4GL manual online.
i.e. run "ls -l /etc" returning rc
Good luck,
Brian
